There once was a time when I was a girl
That darkness hung in my sky
I was old before I learned to be young
Stone cold 'til I learned how to cry
And the weeds in the ground had grew up through my skin
Foresaking a lonesome girl's heart
I would go where the stolen roses grow
To forget that I had fell apart
The thorns on the roses cut through my skin
The vultures flew down and they pecked
What lay on the surface was a tiny crack
But below was a gigantic wreck
And I held my head down and I dealt with the blows
In hope that I'd soon be free to
Go where the stolen roses grow
To forget all the bad memories
I would where the stolen roses grow
I would where the stolen roses grow
And the weeds in the ground had grew up through my skin
Foresaking a lonesome girl's heart
I would go where the stolen roses grow
To forget that I had fell apart
I would go where the stolen roses grow
To forget that I had fell apart
