[Chorus] Rose without a thorn Rose without a thorn I held you too close And I felt the burn Rose without a thorn Rose without a thorn Pretty on the stem Till it turned [Verse 2] Your name in my mouth Tasted like rain Sweet on my tongue Then it slipped to pain [Pre-Chorus] You said stay close I leaned in fast If love was velvet Why’d it cut like glass?
