Like A Withered Rose

Verse 1 I traced the outline of the dreams we used to trust, Found only fractured echoes buried deep beneath the dust. You wore a smile that shimmered like a distant dying star— Still beautiful, but breaking from the person that you are. Pre-Chorus And I could feel the distance growing in your eyes, A silent tidal shift beneath our fragile paradise. Chorus I kept the promise that we made. I swore my love for you would never fade. But something changed, what could it be? You turn away, and leaving me. So I froze… (and my heart is falling) Like a withered rose Verse 2 The hours drifted softly through the hollow of my chest, A requiem for tenderness we once held as our best. I felt the winter settle where your warmth used to remain, A quiet requital carved through bittersweet refrain. Pre-Chorus 2 But every truth must one day stand before the light, And yours revealed a world where I no longer fit right. Chorus I kept the promise that we made. I swore my love for you would never fade. But something changed, what could it be? You turned away, and leaving me. So I froze… (and my heart is falling) Like a withered rose. Bridge If love is but a kingdom made of trembling glass, Then ours was shattered by the cruelest touch of past. Yet I would hold each fragment even as it bleeds, For every cut remembers what my lonely heart still needs. Final Chorus (bigger, more epic) I kept the promise that we made. I swore my love for you would never fade. But something changed, what could it be? You turned away, and leaving me. So I froze… (and my heart is falling) Like a withered rose. Like a withered rose… I fall, I fade, yet still I glow— A heart undone, a love that lost its home.
