I've been to the depths of emotional purgatory
Cause in life, there's nothing here for me
I used to live my life by the words of a song I heard
Now I realize that I've heard them all wrong
I can't keep my nerves at ease
So just leave me here in grief
I'll place this rose so close to your heart
To watch it grow and tear you apart
In rue of you
I'm tired of trying to find true love
So I'll lie to myself by saying that it will find me
And I toss and I turn in my sleep at night, afraid that I might
Not wake up alone
I can't keep my nerves at ease
So just leave me here in grief
I'll place this rose so close to your heart
To watch it grow and tear you up...
So I'll drink away my pain and expel all of my sanity
And I'll sit on the sidelines as the world passes me by
I am a wallflower, so please let me bloom
As I let my sadness fill up the room
And I'll breakdown and cry myself to sleep
Now my grief begins to eat me alive
Clenching my stomach, I pray I don't die
And I'll place your rose inside of my heart
To watch it grow and tear me apart
In rue of you.
