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 now the lows have drowned the highs away now there′s no where else to go
[bridge] Black rose your thorns are cutting into me for the last time Black rose I saw your petals wilt away I couldn′t bring you back to life
[chorus] 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
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
[bridge]
[chorus]
I′m not the one who hurt you So why are you so scared (I couldn′t save you) (You are who you are) All that you′ve been put through couldn′t be repaired (I couldn′t break through) (we′re too far apart) I′m not the one who hurt I′m the only one who cares (I couldn′t save you) (You are who you are) You′ll need someone to turn to And I will not be there (I couldn′t save you)
Everytime I held you I knew that it would hurt Only through the pain I could find a way to learn
[bridge]
So wilt away couldn′t bring you back to life
[chorus]
I′m not the one who hurt you So why are you so scared (I couldn′t save you) (You are who you are) All that you′ve been put through couldn′t be repaired (I couldn′t break through) (we′re too far apart) I′m not the one who hurt I′m the only one who cares (I couldn′t save you) (You are who you are) You′ll need someone to turn to And I will not be there (I couldn′t save you)
Life is like a boat in the bottle Try to sail, You can′t with no air Day by day it only gets harder Try to scream but nobody cares Through the glass you see the same faces Hear the voices play fade a drum When your life′s a boat in a bottle You′re surrounded, drifting alone Don′t leave me now Stay another day With me
When you′re sad, and no-one knows it I′ll send you black roses When your heart′s dark and frozen I′ll send you black roses
Far away we wait for each other I′m still on that road to nowhere Kiss yourself for me in the mirror Tie a black rose into your hair
Don′t lose your faith Share another night With me
When you′re sad and no-one knows it I′ll send you black roses When your heart′s dark and frozen I′ll send you black roses
Ten Black roses Ten Black roses
Life is like a boat in the bottle Try to sail, you can′t with no air Day by day it only gets harder Try to scream but nobody cares
When you′re sad, and no-one knows it I′ll send you black roses When your heart′s dark and frozen I′ll send you black Roses
Life is like a boat in the bottle Try to sail, You can′t with no air Day by day it only gets harder Try to scream but nobody cares Through the glass you see the same faces Hear the voices play fade a drum When your life′s a boat in a bottle You′re surrounded, drifting alone Don′t leave me now Stay another day With me
When you′re sad, and no-one knows it I′ll send you black roses When your heart′s dark and frozen I′ll send you black roses
Far away we wait for each other I′m still on that road to nowhere Kiss yourself for me in the mirror Tie a black rose into your hair
Don′t lose your faith Share another night With me
When you′re sad and no-one knows it I′ll send you black roses When your heart′s dark and frozen I′ll send you black roses
Ten Black roses Ten Black roses
Life is like a boat in the bottle Try to sail, you can′t with no air Day by day it only gets harder Try to scream but nobody cares
When you′re sad, and no-one knows it I′ll send you black roses When your heart′s dark and frozen I′ll send you black Roses
Tell you a story of a love I left behind It was a broken fairy tale I gave up all my pride Let love inside But tore me all apart when you played with my heart
Let me paint a picture of a cold and rainy night As the candles fade to black I played our favorite song ′Til the needle was gone I′ve taken all I can, You′ve played your last hand
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind Keep searching ′cause it′s so hard to find All you got are the tears that you cry Black roses and wine
Oh yeah
Sorry situation when your castle′s made of sand And it washes out to sea I pushed your love aside Cried my last cry My soul is in bloom Like flowers in June
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind Just keep searching ′cause it′s so hard to find All you got are the tears that you cry Black roses and wine
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind Keep searching ′cause it′s so hard to find All you got are the tears that you cry Black roses and wine
You don′t miss your water ′til your well runs dry You don′t miss your good thing, ′til it passes you by Like a bird in the sky, spread your wings and fly
Oh yeah Yeah yeah yeah
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind C′mon keep searching ′cause it′s so hard to find All you got are the tears that you cry Black roses and wine
Black rose where are you now White skin as cold as the snow we walked in Your lips like midnight That night we walked for hours And I remember But maybe I′m the only one who still remembers
You slipped away Why would you come back to say You′ve already moved on You slipped away But I′ve come back to say that you′re not really gone
My black rose where are you now And yes I′ve seen your black rose petal fall Fall down to the ground like glass shatters And turning into ashes But I′ve seen your color and it′s like a blood drop And maybe I′m the only one Who still remembers
You′ve slipped away But why would you come back to say You′ve already moved on You slipped away But I′ve come back to say that you′re not really gone
So try to disappear But my mind doesn′t slip that easy You can try to disappear But my dear you′re still standing here
You′ve slipped away But why would you come back to say You′ve already moved on You slipped away But I′ve come back to say that you′re not really gone
Gouge out your eyes Pull your heart to the floor With my heart, my skin, my kiss Stand back, drop to your knees, I′ll stand back as you bleed My heart, my skin, my kiss
This blade, it feels so cold, Baby hold me while I′m shaking This knife has pierced my soul I sit alone while I′m shaking And yes I′ll laught out for you With blind eyes, I′m shaking
Gouge out your eyes Pull your heart to the floor Sweetness loves me, takes me, hears me Stand back, drop to your knees, I′ll stand back as you bleed Sweetness loves me, takes me, hears me
This blade, it feels so cold, Baby hold me while I′m shaking This knife has pierced my soul I sit alone while I′m shaking And yes I′ll laught out for you With blind eyes I′m shaking
Take me out of this place... Take me out of this place... Out... Take me out... Take me out... Take me out... Oh, oh... Out... Take me out... Take me out... Take me out... Oh, oh... Take me, take me, take me out!
Gouge out your eyes Pull your heart to the floor With my heart, my skin, my kiss Stand back, drop to your knees, I′ll stand back as you bleed Sweetness loves me, takes me, hears me
Wait for them, to come on in and take you Away from me again Wait for them, to come on in and take you Black rose dying
