I saw you in the garden I wanted you so much
I really thought that you were different Oh I couldn´t get enough
I tried to save you from yourself I felt every high and low
now the lows have drowned the highs away now there´s no where else to go

[bridge]
Black rose your thorns are cutting into me for the last time
Black rose I saw your petals wilt away I couldn´t bring you back to life

[chorus]
You were always where the sun could never go
I never wanted you to have to be alone
But I couldn´t find a way to help you grow
Black Rose

You never tell me how you feel and your moods they always change
I really tried to make it real but you never had the faith
I tried to give you something good to take the pain away
I tried to make you understand You don´t have to be this way

[bridge]

[chorus]

I´m not the one who hurt you So why are you so scared
(I couldn´t save you) (You are who you are)
All that you´ve been put through couldn´t be repaired
(I couldn´t break through) (we´re too far apart)
I´m not the one who hurt I´m the only one who cares
(I couldn´t save you) (You are who you are)
You´ll need someone to turn to And I will not be there
(I couldn´t save you)

Everytime I held you I knew that it would hurt
Only through the pain I could find a way to learn

[bridge]

So wilt away couldn´t bring you back to life

[chorus]

I´m not the one who hurt you So why are you so scared
(I couldn´t save you) (You are who you are)
All that you´ve been put through couldn´t be repaired
(I couldn´t break through) (we´re too far apart)
I´m not the one who hurt I´m the only one who cares
(I couldn´t save you) (You are who you are)
You´ll need someone to turn to And I will not be there
(I couldn´t save you)
