This one's for the rose Beaten by the rain you fall apart Held out for a boy Colors greater than the sum of all your parts Is that you? If so, what will you blossom into? When you're only pretending you can grow Flashing smiles Your roots go underground and spread for miles In the dark Unexposed Yeah, this one's for the rose The night, it has a million eyes They followed me, to my surprise they closed And opened up for you May you go before your colors learn to fade Forever new To wonder what someday you'd one day blossom into Yeah, gone but something I would only know In fading lights And I was just your distant star or moon To far away Where nothing grows Yeah, this one's for the rose
