Delicacy Of A Rose

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, who’s 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.

You try so hard to win but you still loose.

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.

But 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 could bloom.

I would give up everything to bathe in her perfume.

You try so hard to win but you still loose.

Bottle it all up inside where nothing ever grows.

She built a ten foot wall around what’s left of a rose.

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   h  el  l.

You try so hard to win but you loose.

Bottle it all up inside where nothing ever grows.

She built a ten foot wall around what’s left of a rose.

She built a ten foot wall around what’s left of a ro  se  .
