Black Rose

Intro: Verse I saw you in the garden, I wanted you so much I really thought that you were different, oh, I couldn't get enough I tried to save you from yourself, I felt every high and low But the lows have drowned the highs away now there's nowhere else to go Pre-Chorus Black rose your thorns are cutting into me for the last time Black rose I watched your petals wilt away I couldn't bring you back to life You were always where the sun could never go, I never wanted you to have to be alone But I couldn't find a way to help you grow, Black Rose. Verse You never tell me how you feel and your moods - they always change I really tried to make it real but you never had the faith I tried to give you something good to take the pain away I tried to make you understand - you don't have to be this way Pre-Chorus Black rose your thorns are cutting into me for the last time Black rose I watched your petals wilt away I couldn't bring you back to life You were always where the sun could never go, I never wanted you to have to be alone But I couldn't find a way to help you grow, Black Rose. Bridge I'm not the one who hurt you so why are you so scared All that you've been put through couldn't be repaired I'm not the one who hurt, I'm the only one who cares You'll need someone to turn to And I will not be there Everytime I held you I knew that it would hurt Only through the pain I could find a way to learn Pre-Chorus Black rose your thorns are cutting into me for the last time Black rose I watched your petals wilt away So wilt away couldn't bring you back to life Solo You were always where the sun could never go, I never wanted you to have to be alone But I couldn't find a way to help you grow, Black Rose. Outro I'm not the one who hurt you so why are you so scared All that you've been put through couldn't be repaired I'm not the one who hurt, I'm the only one who cares You'll need someone to turn to And I will not be there
