We wandered alleys chasing fireflies
Your laughter echoed through every lie
A rose in the cracks too sharp to touch
You were beauty that hurt too much
I held the bloom ignored the thorn
But love like this leaves you torn
Thorns and roses bittersweet
You left a mark I can't repeat
Thorns and roses what a cruel retreat
You bloomed then faded left me incomplete
We shared the night with the city's glow
But I didn't see the seeds you'd sow
Your roots ran deep in poisoned ground
Now I'm left in the pain I found
You taught me that beauty cuts the same
It leaves a scar but not a name
Now I walk these streets alone
Where love was lost in the stone
