[Verse 1:]
I was already there
Standing there like a shadow

I was already there
Always ready to catch you
But you never know

How much it hurts
To know that your love
Won't be returned

I was already there
Knowing I'll never have you


[Chorus:]
Cause your love shocks like roses
Beautiful, but when I try to hold it

The thorns cut me every time
Don't know why I even try
Still I can't stop reaching for it


[Verse 2:]
I was already there

Loving you since the first day
I was already there
Still you never looked my way

You've never seen
How long I waited
And how much I dreamed

My life away
Wishing you could be here
But I know it's impossible


[Chorus:]
Cause your love shocks like roses

Beautiful, but when I try to hold it
The thorns cut me every time
Don't know why I even try

Still I can't stop reaching for it

[Bridge:]

While he gets your love everyday
I guess I'll never know when
Love roses


[Chorus:]
Cause your love shocks like roses

Beautiful, but when I try to hold it
Cause your love
Cause your love shocks like roses

Beautiful, but when I try to hold it
The thorns cut me every time
Don't know why I even try

Still I can't stop reaching for it

Roses

Roses
So beautiful
Yeah

But I'll never hold it
Yeah
Yeah

Oh
