The Rose Lyrics by Birth Control

Getting There

0

Memories used to fade, to fade slowly away
But I can see your face as if it was today
Where's all that love gone
Yours is drowned in the river
I'm gonna keep mine - forever

To prove yourself is all you ever wanted
You played the hunter and I played the hunted
As soon as you catched me you turned my head around
You turned my head around

You saw me, you hit me
You won me, you took me
You looked at me for a while
Than you put me away

I'm just a rose on your fairground
You just played a silly game
It will never be the same - again
I will never feel the same
I will never feel the same
Never feel the same

I look into the mirror, I can see no happiness
All the warmth that I gave you has turned to emptiness
You played the hunter and I played the hunted
As soon as you catched me you turned my head around

You saw me, you hit me
You won me, you took me
You looked at me for a while
Than you put me away

I'm just a rose on your fairground
You just played a silly game
It will never be the same - again
I will never feel the same
I will never feel the same
I will never feel the same
