Rose Lyrics

Stood in the bathroom mirror

Mascara starts to flow

I hear the wood creek and now you open up the door

Wipe off my cheek in this vanity glow

You say i'm pretty cause you know i'm insecure

Fingertip on my waist

Spelling out appreciate the things you hate about yourself

But the words hit my skin

The compliments ain't sinking in

Don't fight it, I look at you and grin

I can't pour my heart of scared your cup will overflow

And I won't tell you all my truths it's better left unknown

I don't believe your poems even though its what you wrote

I'm not a rose I'm just the thorns

And in your bedroom under artificial light

You touch my edges run your fingers down my spine

You kiss my lips taste this cherry wine

You say I'm beautiful can't get it through my mind

Won't look anymore at my reflection on the shore

It's tiring to love what god has given

Cause every piece I see, a mosaic of what's wrong with me

Don't view it, with your clarity

I can't pour my heart of scared your cup will overflow

And I won't tell you all my truths it's better left unknown

I don't believe your poems even though its what you wrote

I'm not a rose I'm just the thorns
