Lyrics
Wilted Rose
(Vs)
Sometimes in the night I hear you whisper to me;
feel your warm breath on my neck the way it used to be,
but when I awake, its back to my nightmare;
My dreams are only dreams, you’re no longer there
(Ch)
I can feel the thorn of the wilted rose,
cutting deep to the core
Still clinging on to the wilted rose
and the thorn hurts even more
It might be a poor metaphor,
but it’s the one I’ve chose
I can’t stop clinging to a wilted rose
(Vs)
There will come a time, I won’t miss you like I do,
but I’m not ready for closure yet, my grieving isn’t through
(Ch)
I can feel the thorn of the wilted rose,
cutting deep to the core
Still clinging on to the wilted rose
and the thorn hurts even more
It might be a poor metaphor,
but it’s the one I’ve chose
I can’t stop clinging to a wilted rose
(Ch)
I can feel the thorn of the wilted rose,
cutting deep to the core
Still clinging on to the wilted rose
and the thorn hurts even more
It might be a poor metaphor,
but it’s the one I’ve chose
I can’t stop clinging to a wilted rose
I can’t stop clinging to our wilted rose
Never letting go of our wilted rose
