If The Petals Have No Thorns

by Whiskurz   Aug 25, 2012


They said we were as different
As the night is from the day
They said you were the purebred
And I was just the stray

They said we'd never make it
Though opposites attract
For all that you held dearly
Were all the things I lacked

They said you were a princess
But I could never be a prince
Who'd I think that I was fooling,
Who was I trying to convince?

They said you were the story
And I was just pretending
I was just the sad song
And you the happy ending

But then they didn't know
That we were Heaven chose
For if the petals have no thorns
There couldn't be a rose
