this rose still is mine

Title: This Rose Is Still Mine

Verse 1

You tried to take the petals

You tried to steal the thorns

You said love was over

The day that you were born

But I held on to something

Through the rain and shine

You can have the garden

But this rose is still mine

Chorus

This rose is still mine

Yeah, this rose is still mine

Let the world keep spinning

Let the years unwind

You can have the money

You can have the wine

But this rose, this rose

Is still mine

Verse 2

She told me "let it wither"

She told me "let it go"

But some things get sweeter

The more they hurt and grow

I ain't bragging, baby

Just telling you the truth

That rose grew from the broken bones

Of my wasted youth

Chorus

This rose is still mine

Yeah, this rose is still mine

Let the world keep spinning

Let the years unwind

You can have the money

You can have the wine

But this rose, this rose

Is still mine

Bridge

Red in the winter

Sweet in the snow

The only thing I kept

From the fire down below

Outro – repeat and fade

This rose is still mine

Oh, this rose is still mine

You can't touch it, baby

No, not this time

This rose is still mine...
