White frost on our garden gate Roses bow in the frozen rain You left your lipstick stain on my soul Now I walk this ghosted lane My pen's bleedin' blue ink On this page your fingers traced Writing words I'll never send 'Bout a love you erased Oh, roses cry too, my man Petals red like our faded past This letter's drowned in wine and tears For the girl you couldn't hold Winter stole you, I know it did My name carved like a scar within Roses weep year after year For a love we couldn't defend You called me your summer rose But you were the frost, God knows Every rose that blooms here bleeds your name This garden's just a war zone now Every thorn whispers your deceit Every scar brands my vow My love, why'd you lie with those burning lips Promised Sun that was just ice Even roots in this poisoned crypt Choke on venom you enticed Oh, roses die too, my man Petals blackened by frost's command This letter's dust, you're long gone now My heart's last shred in the sand Winter's queen in this wasteland Reigning ruins of what we planned Roses scream, year after year Roses weep year after year For a love too frail to keep I wear your locket, cold as your goodbye 'Gainst this heart you taught to cave This garden's ash, I'm charred remains Burning ghosts I couldn't save But in the silence, I hear you hiss low Hush now, rose, quit your cryin' Even gold flowers get buried below Oh, roses die too, my man Petals blackened by frost's command This letter's dust, you're long gone now My heart's last shred in the sand Winter's queen in this wasteland Reigning ruins of what we planned Roses scream, year after year For a love you blew to no man's land
