• A red rose is a white rose all covered in blood
    Its dangerous beauty still shines in the mud
    My hopes are held down by frozen cold ties
    Self-inflicted fall from sorrowed eyes

    You’re like a rose, your thorns like a sign
    Sharp pains reminding me you’ll never be mine
    The longer I hold on, the more that I bleed
    Thorns of the white rose
    Warn me but I wont heed

    The first try’s a cut, the second a slice,
    I hurt myself once, cause injury twice
    Third one’s a charm, but more damage appears
    The scarlet blood drips and confirms my worst fears

    You’re like a rose, your thorns like a sign
    Sharp pains reminding me you’ll never be mine
    The longer I hold on, the more that I bleed
    Thorns of the white rose
    Warn me but I wont heed

    My bleeding heart is my silent complaint
    My cries of love are always faint
    There’s no reason for me to try
    I have no choice but to let the dream die
    I can’t go on, don’t ask me why

    You’re like a rose, your thorns like a sign
    Sharp pains reminding me you’ll never be mine
    The longer I hold on, the more that I bleed
    Thorns of the white rose
    Warn me but I wont heed
