You look at me like I'm a rose
Singing a song that you don't know
And you always walk so slow
You always walk so slow

If I was foolish I would chase
A feeling I long ago let fade
And we could be good for days
We could be good for days

You take what you want
You wear it out
I'm not trying to be a rose
You see me how
I wish I was
But I'm not trying to be seen, to be seen

You strike a chord with all my friends
Saying that stuff that will transcend
A sad story with an end
A sad story with an end

But if I just cloy myself in light
And stare at your picture late at night
Then I could just close my eyes
I could just close my eyes

You take what you want
You call me back
I'm not trying to be yours
You indulge me
I indulge you
But I'm not trying to have it all, have it all
