In a dark candlelit room
Sits a thorn cut rose
It's petals are wilting
My instincts grow
To touch it's small thorns
Cut my finger in half
For all I want is pain
Pain because of hurt
The feeling of being unloved
A wilting rose shoved in dirt
All I want is you
Yet you are out of reach
Away from my love
A simple lesson to teach
"Hold onto your lover,
For they might disappear...
Away from your love
Them having gone somewhere else in the night
With someone else's touch
They're holding them tight."
If I love you both
Why do I feel so pushed aside
Maybe it's because
I long for your love
I'm addicted to you
It's a sign from above
Something that shows you're my one and only
To show that maybe I'm just not worthy.
The wilting rose roots it's last root
It's single petal being far from just loose
To be only a friend
Would hurt far too much
But this wilting rose
Needs you for just a touch
A single touch of your beautiful hair
A single breathe of your scent oh so sweet
Why, that could supply this wilted rose for a week
I need you and only you
For if we've got someone else
Would you choose me or them?
It's a one in a million choice
To leave someone and take on another
To let the roses last petal fall
Down to the dirt it will take it's last bow
For the curtains shall shut
Like a heart to a thorn
On a wilted rose
Oh how I wish
You were only my thorn
