Where Roses Refuse To Grow Lyrics

Her sun is dull, always concealed

The clouds are full, their lips are sealed

Until a whisper rises from way down below

Where roses refuse to grow

She hears no sound, only her breath

The loudest voice inside her mind tonight is talking about death

As salted tears roll like raindrops down the window

Where roses refuse to grow

She packs her suitcase, turns out the light

Like she's expecting someone cloaked in black to visit her tonight

Her heart is heavy and much colder than the snow

Where roses refuse to grow

Her love was strong, but now he's gone

She soon became a clichéd lyric from some line in a sad song

No drumroll please, she doesn't want a soul to know

That she's where roses refuse to grow

Beauty means nothing, her youth means less

The empty well of experience can't reflect unhappiness

For the first time she will fight pain toe to toe

Where roses refuse to grow

Her lover drowned, without a cause

Without a sound, he slipped away, obeying nature's hidden laws

And paid a debt that he was far too young to owe

Where roses refuse to grow

The storm clouds gather, above her bed

Will she become the fool who rushes in where angels fear to tread?

Her eyelids close, her head sinks deep into the pillow

Where roses refuse to grow

The door flies open, her father's here

He sees the empty box of pills and nearly blacks out from the fear

But there's no way that he will ever let her go

Where roses refuse to grow

Her sun is brighter, the light shines through

Her darkness hasn't gone away but slowly disappears from view

She's not happy though she vows to take it slow

And avoid the place where roses refuse to grow

One whole year later, her grief still raw

But now she's thankful for her father's timely entrance through the door

The earth keeps spinning 'round the sun and feels the glow

Of the light where the roses love to grow
