This Red Rose
This red rose used to symbolize our loveSomething of which it now is unworthy of
I took it for you and I've put it right here
unfortunately I'm not the one for you to endear
I knew it was hard and I knew all your doubts
I wasn't spared a secret, I knew all ins and outs
I understand you now, you want to be free
You told me as well that you're not blaming me
Though you know how I feel and you know what I want
yet staying right here is just something you can't
You've got to move on and I'll cause no delays
I will try and say no to any urge to a chase
You mentioned come-back twenty years after leaving
the next time you will come I will no more be breathing
You did not, but I knew it right from the start,
you will forever possess most space in my heart
