Rose 

Life was simple. 

Days were filled with childish dreams 

Barbies' and makeup used to take up 

any time for worrying

But as we got older, why couldn't we see

How difficult life would be, one step at a time 

You took a path far from mine, and Suddenly

You lost your smile (Chorus)



Rose, Rose, Did you ever hear me cry for you

Rose, Rose, Did you ever hear me pray

I was left watching as you turned away 

There was nothing, nothing I could do

And in the dark all I could do was pray

Wishing I could save you 

But could I ever save you from yourself



Like a flower 

fallen victim to an early frost 

Did you never, could you ever, 

stop and think about the cost 

And what you would pay, living each day 

Wondering if every breath could be your very last 

Because of mistakes, careless mistakes you made 

In the past. (Chorus)



Glancing back, I see you look at me

Won't you just turn around, and face me 

I'll show you the way to make it okay

Won't you let me show you how

But it's you who must choose if you win or you lose

Oh, the time, is now (Chorus)
