Local Roses Lyrics by Dear Boy

Parts of a Flower

2016

[Verse 1]
It’s not her
There’s a ghost in her clothes
It’s not love
But it felt like it then

[Chorus]
I can hold her now
But it’s clear that she’s not mine to keep
‘Cause it was always in my heart to let her go
The local rose I’ll never know

[Verse 2]
It’s a dream
I’m not free to leave
It’s a promise
If I could ever learn to keep one

[Chorus]
I still walk your street like it’s new to me
But I know this house
And now I’ve got my chance to finally do things right
But I won’t tonight

[Bridge]
If you say goodbye, so will I
If you say goodbye, so will I
If you say goodbye, so will I
If you say goodbye, so will I

[Chorus]
I can hold her now
But she was never mine at all
Guess I was always meant to let her go
The local rose I’ll never know

[Outro]
If you say goodbye, so will I
If you say goodbye, so will I
So will I, so will I
So will I, will I, will I
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
