[Verse 1] In gardens of sorrow, you bloom in my mind A bloodied rose weeps where the summer once shined Your petals were vivid, your color was fire Now torn by the ache of a love and desire Once cherished, you opened with grace and delight A symbol of ardor that burned through the night Then shadows came gently and covered you slow Leaving scars of the longing nobody could know [Pre-Chorus] Each thorn keeps the memory close Pain and pleasure in the same soft dose And even in ruin, you don't disappear You stand there trembling, but still you are here [Chorus] Bloodied rose, bloodied rose You still grow in the cold Bloodied rose, bloodied rose A love story broken and bold You bleed and you glow You break and you rise Bloodied rose, bloodied rose You keep love alive [Verse 2] I traced every petal like lines on a prayer Found every old promise still waiting there The years left a bruise, but they could not erase The shape of your heart or the light in your face Each thorn was a lesson, each wound was a song The pain and the pleasure were tangled all along Still, in your frailty, there’s something refined A quiet perfection the dark could not blind [Pre-Chorus] Each thorn keeps the memory close Pain and pleasure in the same soft dose And even in ruin, you don't disappear You stand there trembling, but still you are here [Chorus] Bloodied rose, bloodied rose You still grow in the cold Bloodied rose, bloodied rose A love story broken and bold You bleed and you glow You break and you rise Bloodied rose, bloodied rose You keep love alive [Bridge] Through trials and tribulations, you rose A testament written in tender prose What hurt you became part of your name Still beautiful, still carrying flame [Final Chorus] Bloodied rose, bloodied rose You still grow in the cold Bloodied rose, bloodied rose A love story broken and bold You bleed and you glow You break and you rise Bloodied rose, bloodied rose You keep love alive
