lyrics

I have a rose right here I can’t draw it closer to the real thing
Like my hands pressed, it was dampened pink
I had something on my mind when I picked it
And it gave me a rush
So I promised it to you

I heard your voice coming faintly like something down the line
It came and it sang like a sweet shaking bird to my ear
I used to wait for its song, whether I was scared
And I listened for hours

Dry roses...

Please don’t be taken
See my half turned body to you

Dry roses...

Oh and I have something to tell you, something on my mind
I told you of love and I know that you listened
Now, I’m just adding lines
To the perfect rose
What a dead rose that is

Dry roses...

Please don’t be taken
See my half turned body to you

Dry roses...
