I'm lost and fading in this rain
With darkness aiding this heartfelt pain

The rose has lost her guiding vine
And the moon has ceased her midnight shine
Send the rose to someplace, somewhere
So she can end her dark despair

Will you take me home, to someplace I belong?
Where I should've been all along?

Bloody petals stain the ground
And the garden can't be found
She longs to live and you can't deny
Her right to bloom under midnight sky

I want to go home and escape this pain
Why am I crying outside in the rain?

She can't catch up, she can't succeed
Bitter thorns begin to bleed
Lost and lonely, one pulse in its own
The rose wishes she was never grown

Let me be where I belong
Where was home all along?
