I’ll die just like the rose did

So fragile and you are falls cold

Taking petals, pain I wish that you’d know

If only I could find the words to tell you

They’d never even matter really.

You could never hear them clearly.

You were the closest

Naive love and I gave you the rope

Cold blank stares from the ones without a vision

I’m wasting words on ears that’ll never listen

If only I could find the words to tell you
