Bells & Roses

Lyrics

Everything was mine, but it's long stripped away I stand here naked as the stars and silent as a grave If you see who I really am or you still want to stay There's a danger in this love and I want to be that brave Bells and rose A sign of departure, but I love them just the same Bells and roses A sign of survival on the door into this pain Now I'll go and if you say I must, but I'd rather let it go The people I will never trust and the things that I can't know Kiss you 'til we turn to stone, I'll fight you 'til we're blind But you love me when you're left alone and it makes me want to die Bells and roses If they wake up the senses to remind me who I am Bells and roses The gifts of the spirit shall not be squandered on one man Everything was mine, but it's long stripped away Will you love me if I'm naked or I'm silent as a grave? You don't have to answer now, but you might learn to pray And I'll step down off this cross into a life that I can change Bells and roses Fill up the silence in the place where he once laid Bells and roses A sign of survival and the price I had to pay Bells and roses Bells and roses Bells and roses
