Everything was mine, but it's long stripped away
I stand here naked as the stars and silent as a grave
If you see who I really am or you still want to stay
There's a danger in this love and I want to be that brave

Bells and rose
A sign of departure, but I love them just the same
Bells and roses
A sign of survival on the door into this pain

Now I'll go and if you say I must, but I'd rather let it go
The people I will never trust and the things that I can't know
Kiss you 'til we turn to stone, I'll fight you 'til we're blind
But you love me when you're left alone and it makes me want to die

Bells and roses
If they wake up the senses to remind me who I am
Bells and roses
The gifts of the spirit shall not be squandered on one man

Everything was mine, but it's long stripped away
Will you love me if I'm naked or I'm silent as a grave?
You don't have to answer now, but you might learn to pray
And I'll step down off this cross into a life that I can change

Bells and roses
Fill up the silence in the place where he once laid
Bells and roses
A sign of survival and the price I had to pay
Bells and roses
Bells and roses
Bells and roses
