She gave it away on good faith when she was 15 years old
He was 16 and did not appreciate the delicacy of a rose
A long string of lovers helped blur the line
Between true love and lust
A teenage girl who's been sold short
Whose she got left to trust?
The cycle of sin she found herself in once the word got out
It broke her heart to realize what they were all about
After she gave all she had
They didn't treat her so well
Each time she went their way
Another petal fell
He was 16 and did not appreciate the delicacy of a rose
A long string of lovers helped blur the line
Between true love and lust
A teenage girl who's been sold short
Whose she got left to trust?
The cycle of sin she found herself in once the word got out
It broke her heart to realize what they were all about
After she gave all she had
They didn't treat her so well
Each time she went their way
Another petal fell
Sometimes life leads you down a road
That you don't choose
You try so hard to win but you still lose
Bottle it all up inside where nothing ever grows
She built a ten-foot wall around what's left of a rose
I have always been there when she's cried a million tears
I know why she can't see that I've loved her for years
In the fertile soil of my hands I know real love can bloom
I would give up everything to bathe in her perfume
