Christian Tayar - Desert Rose

I left them open ocean beaches for the desert sands
Trying to escape this wreck I left in my homeland
I medicate until I'm numb
Well I didn't come out here to feel a thing
I came out here to run
But then I see her sitting there and I try not to stare
Then that's when she turns around and I don't even care that she caught me

In this barren hell lies a desert rose
A beauty where she shouldn't be in a place where nothing grows
I wanted her for myself
But every time I try I prick my finger on her thorns and blood begins to swell
I guess this is my lesson in humility
I can't lay claim to everything that's within reach
Even though I swear to god it's looking like this rose is reaching back to me

I can feel it deep within my bones
The parts of me I thought had died that used to make me whole
I never thought that I would ever again make
The smile that I get every single time I see her face
But it's not written in the stars and we're not meant to be
I'm not her perfect man
She's not the girl for me
I told her from day one that timing was never my thing
But I'm still grateful to her for reminding me how I used to be
