Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I grew up in a garden of rumors They named me for my color, not my scars You trace me with your careful little glances But you never get as far as who I am [Pre-Chorus] You want the velvet, not the bleeding You want the story, not the truth You see the petals in the evening But you never stand here in my roots [Chorus] I’m a rose with thorns Beauty, but you can’t touch You can look, you can long But it’s never enough You can circle, you can crave But you won’t get to the heart of me I’m a rose with thorns And you can’t reach, can’t reach my heart [Verse 2] You talk about forever like it’s perfume Something you can spray on for the night You say you want the center of my secrets But you’re scared of every shadow in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] You want the picture, not the bleeding You want the promise, not the fight You see me shining in the evening But you never stayed through my midnights [Chorus] I’m a rose with thorns Beauty, but you can’t touch You can look, you can long But it’s never enough You can circle, you can crave But you won’t get to the heart of me I’m a rose with thorns And you can’t reach, can’t reach my heart [Bridge] You say you’d die to hold me But you flinch at every sting (oh) Love is more than easy words It’s the blood that diamonds bring If you want the red inside me You will have to take the pain ’Cause I won’t fold my edges in Just to make you feel safe [Chorus] I’m a rose with thorns Beauty, but you can’t touch You can look, you can long But it’s never enough You can circle, you can crave But you won’t get to the heart of me I’m a rose with thorns Say you want love, but you can’t stay scarred I’m a rose with thorns And you can’t reach, can’t reach my heart
