Die like the roses I'll die just like the rose did So fragile and you are falls cold Taking petals, pain I wish that you'd know If only I could find the words to tell you They'd never even matter really If only I could find the words to tell you You could never hear them clearly Taking time Building these walls too high If I let you close to me (close to me, close to me) You'll tear me apart Tear me apart Tear me apart You were the closest That I've ever let in Thought I'd be careful but I let you close Naive love and I gave you the rope Cold blank stares from the ones without a vision I'm wasting words on ears that'll never listen If only I could find the words to tell you You could never hear them clearly Taking time Building these walls too high If I let you close to me (close to me, close to me) You'll tear me apart Tear me apart Taking time Building these walls too high If I let you close to me (close to me, close to me) You'll tear me apart Tear me apart Tear me apart Taking time Building these walls too high If I let you close to me (close to me, close to me) You'll tear me apart Tear me apart
