The Bloom Is off the Rose
He's gone into darkness
Straight from my party
Then he called me this morning
To tell me his news
A love that's been fading
A heart that's been drained
I look back and see you
And see nothing at all
The bloom is off the rose
It might have kept its thorns
The bloom is off the rose
It only kept its thorns
'Cause the roses you once grew for me in your own backyard
Lost their color, lost their smell, they're covered now in dust
The roses you once grew won my heart, won my love
But their thirsty little thorns took my blood, so I cut them off
It seemed way too easy and I've been so tempted
To keep my collection of false memories
You remind me of days when we both laughed so hard
A glimpse in your eye and a sparkle in your smile
The bloom is off the rose
It might have kept its thorns
The bloom is off the rose
It only kept its thorns
'Cause the roses you once grew for me in your own backyard
Lost their color, lost their smell, they're covered now in dust
The roses you once grew won my heart, won my love
But their thirsty little thorns took my blood, so I cut them off
You're gone into darkness
Straight from my party
Then you called me this morning
To tell me your news
The bloom is off the rose
It might have kept its thorns
The bloom is off the rose
It only kept its thorns
'Cause the roses you once grew for me in your own backyard
Lost their color, lost their smell, they're covered now in dust
The roses you once grew won my heart, won my love
But their thirsty little thorns took my blood, so I cut them off
Straight from my party
Then he called me this morning
To tell me his news
A love that's been fading
A heart that's been drained
I look back and see you
And see nothing at all
The bloom is off the rose
It might have kept its thorns
The bloom is off the rose
It only kept its thorns
'Cause the roses you once grew for me in your own backyard
Lost their color, lost their smell, they're covered now in dust
The roses you once grew won my heart, won my love
But their thirsty little thorns took my blood, so I cut them off
It seemed way too easy and I've been so tempted
To keep my collection of false memories
You remind me of days when we both laughed so hard
A glimpse in your eye and a sparkle in your smile
The bloom is off the rose
It might have kept its thorns
The bloom is off the rose
It only kept its thorns
'Cause the roses you once grew for me in your own backyard
Lost their color, lost their smell, they're covered now in dust
The roses you once grew won my heart, won my love
But their thirsty little thorns took my blood, so I cut them off
You're gone into darkness
Straight from my party
Then you called me this morning
To tell me your news
The bloom is off the rose
It might have kept its thorns
The bloom is off the rose
It only kept its thorns
'Cause the roses you once grew for me in your own backyard
Lost their color, lost their smell, they're covered now in dust
The roses you once grew won my heart, won my love
But their thirsty little thorns took my blood, so I cut them off
