"The Rose" lyrics

We spoke that time your hands are tied between
You turned and said you'd already read the leaves

Happy little accidents fly
Underneath the waterproof scars
Nothing like the rain down below

Heavy like the—
Heavy like the rose
Heavy like the rose

Now and then, I tell my friends the news
But you always seem to resonate the blues

Burdened by the talent within
Faded now to think on your sins
Weight of all your songs in the fire

Heavy like the—
Heavy like the rose
Heavy like the rose

Whoa

Heavy like the rose

I hope you know
That what you meant to me is more than I can bear
Oh, darling, oh
I was fucked-up in the brain
Screaming silence at the rain
Screaming, "God, just cut me down
And hide my pieces all around!"

My pieces all around!

Gone is the saviour
Gone is the king
Of the land beneath the ground
Lord, have the kingdom brought to the brink
Of the words we never sounded out
