"Rose" lyrics

She's been down this road before
So she's thinking, "Everybody overboard, the ship's sinking!"
The Captain at the helm of the bar still drinking
There's a warning light in her face still blinking

It's easy if you want to just stick with the crowd
But he's all in and she wants out
Raising her fist like she's going to fight
Breathing the text, that she's not coming home tonight

She's like a wild, wild Irish Rose
She'll leave a trail of dead wherever she goes
Afraid of losing what you'll never control
You know she's beautiful
Her love is beautiful

Trying to put the pieces back together with pride
Trying not to listen when she's picking a fight
Remembering the words that "She would never be!"
If he surrenders now, it's like saying he's the enemy

If we could see the future, then we'd know what to do
But we're living in the dark, if we can't hear the truth
Trying to keep his head up at the turn of the tide
Trying to put the pieces back together with pride

She's like a wild wild Irish Rose
She'll leave a trail of dead wherever she goes
Afraid of losing what you'll never control
You know she's beautiful
Her love is beautiful

She's like a wild wild Irish Rose
She'll leave a trail of dead wherever she goes
Afraid of losing what you'll never control
You know she's beautiful
Her love is beautiful
