Be Your Rose

Two dozen roses
One broken heart
Another dream
Another start

I lie here alone tonight
And I can't help but cry
I want so bad to calm
This feeling deep inside

I didn't have a name for it
I just let it cause my tears
And now I know for sure
That it is everything I fear

I'm afraid to take the plunge
I'm scared that I will fall apart
And that I won't recover
From a massacre of my heart

The petals on my skin
The dreams on my mind
I miss you and I need you
I'm so glad you're mine

A thorn pricks my finger
And the blood flows so red
The pain is little
But the fear is almost dead

It drips onto the petals
Crimson on the leaves
Pain on top of love
So beautiful I can't see

Do you lie awake?
Does love make you want to cry?
Make me your rose
And I'll stay until I die

Make my skin the silk
Make my sin your thorn
Let my beauty be the petals
And never be forlorn

Tell me anything you need
Tell me anything at all
And I will always be here
To catch you should you fall.
