She gave it away on good faith when she was 15 years old. He was 16 and did not appreciate the delicacy of a rose.
|
A long string of lovers helped blur the line
|
between true love and lust.
|
|
A teenage girl who's been sold short,
|
whose she got left to trust?
|
The cycle of sin she found herself in once the word got out. It broke her heart to realize what they were all about.
|
After she gave all she had
|
They didn't treat her so well.
|
Each time she went their way,
|
another petal fell.
|
|
Chorus
|
Sometimes life leads you down a road
|
That you don't choose.
|
You try so hard to win but you still lose.
|
Bottle it all up inside where nothing ever grows.
|
She built a ten-foot wall around what's left of a rose.
|
|
I have always been there when she's cried a million tears.
|
I know why she can't see that I've loved her for years.
|
In the fertile soil of my hands I know real love can bloom.
|
I would give up everything to bathe in her perfume.
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Bridge
|
She's been loved a time or two
|
But I don't think she could tell.
|
She's always been called easy.
|
But friend she's hard as hell.
|
|
