lyrics

Oh what fragile creatures we humans be
He cut me up easily leaving a hole in me
Stretching into my soul, it's 10 miles deep
A man-shaped hole, waking me from sleep
His edges of ice cut into my skin
I don't know why I let him in, oh I let him in
His fist clutches at my heart and spine
Pulling and tearing out any bits he can find
Most days I think I will disappear
Into the same nothing apparently he feels
Confusion sets in and I don't know what to do
Here I am, I just feel like a fool, oh I am his fool

Oh my heart is a rose
Trampled by his poetry and prose
Oh my heart is a rose
With petals pulled and tears wept underneath his toes
(My heart is in ruin)

There will be no songs written for me
I am the hidden footnote in his story
Forgotten before the season's turn
Yet my love for him still burns
I look for him in the corners of my mind
Hoping he'd find his way back to me in time, oh come back in time

Oh my heart is a rose
Trampled by his poetry and prose
Oh my heart is a rose
With petals pulled and tears wept underneath his toes
(My heart is in ruin, but I am still here)

I think I'm running but I'm just standing still
Standing, waiting, swallowing this bitter pill
The secrets I shared are now far, far away
With him, they lie; with him, they stay
I wonder how he is as I put paper under pen
But I guess I have to let him go in the end
Oh this is the end
No, this is the end
Oh god, this is the end
