Jamie Paul - Where Roses Refuse To Grow

Her sun is dull, always concealed
The clouds are full, their lips are sealed
Until a whisper rises from way down below
Where roses refuse to grow
She hears no sound, only her breath
The loudest voice inside her mind tonight is talking about death
As salted tears roll like raindrops down the window
Where roses refuse to grow
She packs her suitcase, turns out the light
Like she's expecting someone cloaked in black to visit her tonight
Her heart is heavy and much colder than the snow
Where roses refuse to grow
Her love was strong, but now he's gone
She soon became a clichéd lyric from some line in a sad song
No drumroll please, she doesn't want a soul to know
That she's where roses refuse to grow

Beauty means nothing, her youth means less
The empty well of experience can't reflect unhappiness
For the first time she will fight pain toe to toe
Where roses refuse to grow
Her lover drowned, without a cause
Without a sound, he slipped away, obeying nature's hidden laws
And paid a debt that he was far too young to owe
Where roses refuse to grow
The storm clouds gather, above her bed
Will she become the fool who rushes in where angels fear to tread?
Her eyelids close, her head sinks deep into the pillow
Where roses refuse to grow
The door flies open, her father's here
He sees the empty box of pills and nearly blacks out from the fear
But there's no way that he will ever let her go
Where roses refuse to grow

Her sun is brighter, the light shines through
Her darkness hasn't gone away but slowly disappears from view
She's not happy though she vows to take it slow
And avoid the place where roses refuse to grow
One whole year later, her grief still raw
But now she's thankful for her father's timely entrance through the door
The earth keeps spinning 'round the sun and feels the glow
Of the light where the roses love to grow
