[Verse 1] Rose in your back pocket Thorns on your fingertips You said you’d never stay Still you left a kiss Cut from a red postcard Folded in my jeans Every time I reach for you I bleed a little clean [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you meant When you said “hold on” You were gone by morning But the scent stayed on [Chorus] Rose, rose, rose Don’t let me go Rose, rose, rose You cut so slow Rose, rose, rose I wear the sting Rose, rose, rose You’re everything [Verse 2] I found you in the mirror In the crack of dawn Lip marks on the glass now Like a sign you’re on The vase on my table Keeps your silence dressed Even on my good days You’re the thing I miss [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you meant When you said “hold on” You were gone by morning But the scent stayed on [Chorus] Rose, rose, rose Don’t let me go Rose, rose, rose You cut so slow Rose, rose, rose I wear the sting Rose, rose, rose You’re everything [Bridge] Maybe love looks cruel When it wants to last Pretty on the surface Sharp in the glass I still hear you calling From the edge of sleep Soft as a prayer And mean as a keep [Chorus] Rose, rose, rose Don’t let me go Rose, rose, rose You cut so slow Rose, rose, rose I wear the sting Rose, rose, rose You’re everything
