Only Thorns on This Rose

Sweet you were, but much too late
Only thorns left on this rose
Sweet you were, I still taste you
No regrets, but I need to

Hide it all away
Always much too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again

Withered away
Always too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again

Sweet you were, but much too late
Only thorns left on this rose
Sweet you were, I still taste you
Heavy on my lips,
Oh how I need to

Hide it all away
Always too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again

Withered away
Always too late
Never to burn
Never to burn again

The yawn of silence
The days of wondering
How long can this go on?
How long can we hide behind this,
How long til the façade crumbles down?
How long til it comes to pass?

Hold back the river until the levee breaks
And the sky comes falling down
Hold back the tears
Don't let your fears
Take you down to the bottom

Hold back the river until the levee breaks
And the skies come falling down
Don't you let it overrun you
Don't let go now

Not enough
Sweet though it could be
Only thorns left on this rose
This just won't be
No, it just shouldn't be, no

It's not enough
Sweet though it could be
Only thorns left on this rose

Sweet you were
I still taste you
Only thorns left on this rose
