They were young and at the time they thought they'd found
The one to share their lives with though the ups and downs
Forever together they'd grow old
But sometimes fairy tales don't end the way we want
And love just like a rose slowly starts to fade
A passion once dark red is now a lonely shade of gray
A shade of gray
And love like a stem with thorns
Bends and breaks underneath the weight of the storm
That's how it goes, love's like a rose
Both moved on and wondered if they'd find
Someone to fill the loneliness, the emptiness inside
Starting new is often hard to do
But someone soon came into their lives
And love just like a seed carried by the wind
Finds a place to land and starts to grow again
To grow again
And love just like a rose begins to bloom and then
Slowly opens up and trusts enough to let someone shine in
That's how it goes, love's like a rose
And love just like a rose begins to bloom and then
Slowly opens up and trusts enough to let someone shine in
That's how it goes, love's like a rose
That's how it goes, love's like a rose
