My Hands Held A Rose Lyrics

I was living solo, 'til she lit my life

She was my world, my forever, my light

But I let my pain and darkness drive

Took for granted, what was real and right

I had a kingdom, had it all, that's true

But I broke her down with all my demands

My selfish ways, yeah, they pushed her through

Now she's gone to a better man's hands

Now I'm back to facing life alone

With tears that crash like waves of love

I had a queen, now I'm on this throne

She was my heart... my sweet, sweet dove

I had a kingdom, had it all, that's true

But I broke her down with all my demands

My selfish ways, yeah, they pushed her through

Now she's gone to a better man's hands

My heart was cold, I didn't know

The love I had slipped through my hold

Now the pain's a weight that won't let go

It's too late now for truths untold

I had a kingdom, had it all, that's true

But I broke her down with all my demands

My selfish ways, yeah, they pushed her through

Now she's gone to a better man's hands

Better mans hand's

I was cold, i never knew my hands had held a rose

My heart was cold, I never knew

My hands had held a rose
