[Verse 1]
There’s a rose in the garden, its petals once bright,
Now they curl at the edges, folding into the night.
The dew’s long gone, the sun’s grown shy,
Time takes its toll, no need to ask why.
[Chorus]
Like a rose wilting slow, its brilliance turns to dust,
Memories of laughter fade, like iron turning to rust.
No longer friends, but a picture in my mind,
The wilting rose, the moments left behind.
[Verse 2]
We once shared the sunrise, and the cool of the shade,
Carved our names in the oak, where promises stayed.
Now the silence grows heavy, the words all have flown,
The garden feels empty, but I stand here alone.
[Prechorus]
Seasons change, and so do we,
Winter steals what spring set free.
[Chorus]
Like a rose wilting slow, its brilliance turns to dust,
Memories of laughter fade, like iron turning to rust.
No longer friends, but a picture in my mind,
The wilting rose, the moments left behind.
[Bridge]
Oh, I cherish the bloom, the bright, fleeting flame,
Though the years stripped its color, I still whisper your name.
A flower can’t last, but its scent lingers on,
In the cracks of my heart, where you still belong.
