[Verse 1]
Picked from the sky and placed in my hand
A rose I will cherish ‘til the very end
Beauty so perfect yet so delicate
I could not resist and I don’t understand

[Refrain]
Mystified our lives perfectly aligned
Now I’m searching for a sign

[Verse 2]
A victim to a situation
But the fire burns
Lighting my soul
Is this just a cruel reminder I am torn?

[Pre-Chorus]
Paralyzed from the love we left behind
And how we never even tried

[Chorus]
Even though this rose hurts to hold
I just can’t let it go
Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone
And cut me to the bone
I can’t let it go, I can’t let her go
[Verse 3]
Healing from our mistakes
The choices we made
I hope you’ll come back to me someday
With my heart on display
If I let you slip away it would be a tragedy

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Outside your walls
Cold, alone (alone)
I know you’ll grow into the person I’ve always known
I know you’ll grow even more beautiful

[Pre-Chorus]
Terrified that the future’s undefined
Maybe all we need is time

[Chorus]
Even though this rose hurts to hold
I just can’t let it go
Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone
And cut me to the bone
Even though this rose hurts to hold
I just can’t let it go
Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone
And cut me to the bone
[Outro]
I can’t let it go
I can’t let her go (I can’t let her go)
(Even though this rose hurts to hold)
I can’t let it go
I can’t let her go
(Even though this rose hurts to hold)
