*I thought I had cropped the last part, but I ended up sharing this one instead of the cropped version — and I realized it way too late. I’m really sorry about that*
(Verse 1)
I planted them with care that day
Your roses in the frost
The petals turned a deeper red
Before they all were lost
I should have known the season’s change
Would take them in the end
But still I fought against the cold
Pretending to pretend
(Pre-Chorus)
Your thorns left scars upon my hands
But I kept holding on
The frost crept closer day by day
Till warmth was nearly gone
(Chorus )
Winter takes the roses
I watch them fade away
Your garden’s dying slowly
As ice begins to fall
Ahhhh
(Verse 2)
I tried to shield them from the storm
With nothing but my skin
The bleeding didn’t bother me
Till poison settled in
Each petal that I gathered up
Just crumbled into dust
The beauty that deceived me so
Was nothing more than rust
(Pre-Chorus)
The garden that you planted here
Has turned to frozen ground
I cannot feel my fingertips
But still I stick around
(Chorus)
Winter takes the roses
I watch them fade away
Your garden’s dying slowly
As ice begins to fall
Ahhhh
