"Rose" lyrics

Picked from the sky and placed in my hand
A rose I will cherish 'til the very end
Beauty so perfect yet so delicate
I could not resist and I don't understand

Mystified our lives perfectly aligned
Now I'm searching for a sign

A victim to a situation
But the fire burns
Lighting my soul
Is this just a cruel reminder I am torn?

Paralyzed from the love we left behind
And how we never even tried

Even though this rose hurts to hold
I just can't let it go
Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone
And cut me to the bone
I can't let it go, I can't let her go

Healing from our mistakes
The choices we made
I hope you'll come back to me someday
With my heart on display
If I let you slip away it would be a tragedy

Outside your walls
Cold, alone (alone)
I know you'll grow into the person I've always known
I know you'll grow even more beautiful

Terrified that the future's undefined
Maybe all we need is time

Even though this rose hurts to hold
I just can't let it go
Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone
And cut me to the bone
Even though this rose hurts to hold
I just can't let it go
Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone
And cut me to the bone

I can't let it go
I can't let her go (I can't let her go)
(Even though this rose hurts to hold)
I can't let it go
I can't let her go
(Even though this rose hurts to hold)
