Resilience - Like a Rose (feat. Madam Mondestin) Lyrics

Don't pluck me like a rose
You've gotta let love grow
Or you'll get cut by thorns
In the eye of the storm
You've gotta let love shine
Water your love with light
All love just needs is time
You know that love is like a rose
Love is like a rose
Love only grows
Roses don't fold
Even when the wind blows
Through the storms and the snow
And the thorns that expose
From every little flower bud to large flower meadows
From every drop of mud to these big city ghettos
From every freezing mountaintop I conquered and I climbed
I did it with a rose carried right by my side
Love ain't just emotions or some feelings in your beating heart
Love is that devotion to be healing what has ripped apart
Seeing sparks in the dark even when you're lost
And love is always gonna be there from the bitter start
And lovin' doesn't stop
Like roses never rot
And love me, love me not
With those feeling that you got
'Cause when you start have 'em they won't ever go away
Unless that rose is artificial it will still remain
From hurt and pain and dirt and rain and burning flames and burning sage
The learning phase has work and change
And need some time to burn away
Give your rose some water and you'll start to see it grow
And if it never grows then you know that shit is fake, ah
Don't pluck me like a rose
You've gotta let love grow
Or you'll get cut by thorns
In the eye of the storm
You've gotta let love shine
Water your love with light
All love just needs is time
You know that love is like a rose
Love is like rose
We know it only grows
But know it grows slow
Steady rising from the bottom
But you don't really know
It's a rose until it blossoms
See love is hard to find
'Cause we're blinded by the lust
And lust is like a drug
When you find it, you won't give it up
Poison in your lungs make you see shit that ain't even there
Now you're thinking dumb, you're breathing in the dirty air
It will make you numb and make you happy 'til it disappears
Then that shit will crumble, and you wonder why your heart ain't there
Anywhere, not a glare
Ain't nobody f*cking cares
It will make you empty to the point of all despair
So if that love ain't real then that lust will soon deceive you
Everything you feel might be love but if that leaves you
Then you know it's fake
'Cause love won't go away
And love will always fix itself no matter what's at stake, yeah
Don't pluck me like a rose
You've gotta let love grow
Or you'll get cut by thorns
In the eye of the storm
You've gotta let love shine
Water your love with light
All love just needs is time
You know that love is like a rose
Love is like a rose, wait
Love is like a rose, yeah
Love is like a rose, wait
Love is like a rose
Love is like a rose, yeah
Love is like a rose, yeah
Love is like a rose, yeah
Love is like a
Don't pluck me like a rose
You've gotta let love grow
Or you'll get cut by thorns
In the eye of the storm
You've gotta let love shine
Water your love with light
All love just needs is time
You know that love is like a rose
