Bloom Alone

Verse 1

Thorns along the driveway

Planted where the light won't go

Crimson in the shadows

Learning how to grow so slow

Watched the garden wither

While you held your petals tight

Every time they reached for you

You'd pull away and hide from sight

Pre-Chorus

But I see you

I see you

Chorus

Dark rose, dark rose

You don't have to bloom alone

Dark rose, dark rose

Let me carry what you hold

Fold your leaves into my hands

I won't let you hit the ground

Dark rose, dark rose

You don't have to bloom alone

Verse 2

Water from the thunder

Stained your roots a deeper shade

Whispered all the stories

That the softer flowers never braved

The moon became your mirror

Every crack a kind of art

Learning to be beautiful

With thunder in your heart

Pre-Chorus

And I need you

I need you

Chorus

Dark rose, dark rose

You don't have to bloom alone

Dark rose, dark rose

Let me carry what you hold

Fold your leaves into my hands

I won't let you hit the ground

Dark rose, dark rose

You don't have to bloom alone

Bridge

What if every scar you carry

Is a petal waiting sun

What if all the dark you carry

Is the place the color comes from

Chorus

Dark rose, dark rose

You don't have to bloom alone

Dark rose, dark rose

Let me carry what you hold

Fold your leaves into my hands

I won't let you hit the ground

Dark rose, dark rose

You don't have to bloom alone
