Its taste was sweet like summer wine
The heart that beats in double time
So he waltzed right in and bowled you over
And youre still reeling from the feeling when hes gone
The door is closed the lock is turned
And all the memories and letters have been burned
Chorus
So when you pick the handsome flower
Dont forget the thron upon the rose
Its cut is deep and the scar lasts forever
It follows love whereever love goes
Just how we fall its hard to know
When what we feel we seldom show
So we show the parts we feel are best
We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
And you think you know him and he thinks the same
When underneath it all its just a crazy guessing game
Chorus
Win or lose its just the same
Tears of joy tears of pain
Theyre hand in hand they come as one
Youll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
For all the bruises for all the blows
Id rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose
Chorus...
