Sweet you were
But much too late
Only thorns
Left on this rose
Sweet you were
I still taste you
No regrets
But I need to
Hide it all away
Always much too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again
Withered away
Always too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again
Sweet you were
But much too late
Only thorns
Left on this rose
Sweet you were
I still taste you
Heavy on my lips
Oh, how I need to
Hide it all away
Always too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again
Withered away
Always much too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again
The yawn of silence
The days of wondering
How long can this go on
How long can we wear the masks
How long til the facade crumbles down
How long til it comes to pass?
Hold back the river
Until the levee breaks
And the sky comes crashing down
Hold back the tears
Don't let the fear take you
Down to the bottom
Hold back the river
Until the levee breaks
And the sky comes falling down
Don't you let it overrun
Don't let go now
Not enough
Sweet though it could be
Only thorns
Left on this rose
This just won't be
No, this just shouldn't be
No, no
It's not enough
Sweet though it could be
Only thorns
Left on this rose
Sweet you were
I still taste you
Only thorns
Left on this rose
