Little girl don't cry
I'll be here for you tonight
Sitting here in the dead of night
I'm all ears
so cut those sorrowful eyes
and if you need to
then Just cry
just put down that frown
I'll never let it say
proceed with caution
because we know you don't bite
Your eyes
so similar to mine
but nothing alike
we are both scarred
but just so you know
healing comes with time
so don't feel bad
you mother was like coal
and she made you into a diamond
You may say
the past repeats itself
but then you must know
the first time
sets you up for the second
so that you'll always come out on top
so little girl don't look so sad
this boy will always be at hand
but still you cry
but still you plea
girl your an object of contradictory
you call yourself and optimist
but your actions scream of pesimistacy
I guess that’s just fine with your life
just remember that when you asked for help
that they all said “maybe”
but you can count on me
so little girl don't be so sad
get up and make a stand
just scream with me
and then
we can begin to mend your broken wings
so that when you fly from me
you can remind me to be happy
for you I would even sing
and ask the living to share their hearts
so please stop saying these things
like “out of sight, out of mind”
because when push comes to shove
I don't want you to melt on me
so little girl don't look so sad
just because you aren't a cute red rose
but I know
your more beautiful than that
but much darker
your an elegant black rose
and I’ll tell you a secret
though now you cry
I’ll have you know
red roses wither and die
even though they’re cute
their pedals fall in time
But…
Black Roses Never Die
