I've been afraid
To see the signs
Shut down my heart
So I could live a lie
I can't explain
How sad I feel
Knowing I gave you
The raw end of the deal
You were my white rose
I took you when I should have left you alone
And planted a garden where love couldn't grow
My white rose
You were my white rose
If I could change
Yes I would try
But there's a feeling
That I can't deny
You gave me more
Than what I deserved
All I could offer
Was a scar in return
You were my white rose
I took you when I should have left you alone
And planted a garden where love couldn't grow
My white rose
You were my white rose
If only my sorries didn't hit you like rain on a river
If only I was less of a taker and more a giver
You'd be my white rose
I took you when I should have left you alone
And planted a garden where love couldn't grow
My white rose
You'd be my white rose
You'd be my white rose
You were my white rose
