Texas (Blackest) Rose

[dawnynomore]

I want you like a thousand suns
Want the pale moon
And I'd fight like a million Huns
Just to hold you

I've prayed to every star
For a day's rest
I know that I am not your love
And you're not my conquest

You're my blackest rose
Your thorns prick like sadness
You're my blackest rose
Can't stick through these calluses
You're my blackest rose
Wish your eyes could see that
You're my blackest rose
Your heart beats in my chest

I know that I am hard to hold
And harder to handle
But know that those other girls
They can't hold a candle
I feel that you will soon be gone
A mem'ry, a friend past
But see the lengths I'd run
To be more than a sweet ass

You're my blackest rose

You tell me that you're hot and cold
You speak mean, and you hurt bad
You tell me I am far too good
To stoop down, take your hand
I know that you won't believe
I once shared your lone fate
But you won't be my Romeo
I can't be your Juliet

You're my texas rose
Your thorns prick like sadness
You're my texas rose
Can't stick through these calluses
You're my texas rose
Wish your eyes could see that
You're my texas rose
Your heart beats in my chest
