A Thousand Roses

You’re an angel sent from heaven
The petal that fell in my hands
You’re the fire in this kids heart
The water that floods these sands
You’re the one and only woman
Perhaps you’ll never understand
How I love you with my heart
And how you able me to stand

I know you’ll never keep this
Just another thing to bin
I’d try to play a symphony
For you with violins
I’ve kept my feelings far too long
It’s you who stops me dead
You’re the only one who paints my sky
In this beautiful crimson red

I need to know your safe
I want to know your loved
I hope you know you’ve changed my life
And everything above
Cause you’ve helped a person through this world
To learn from his mistakes
And that deserves a thousand hands
Cause It’s you that makes him ache

I miss your smile already
That’s the thing I liked the best
It must have left a good impression
A painful flutter within the chest
Cause that’s what’s kept you in my life
A reason to wake up and breathe
A reason to go to sleep at night
And the hope you can come in my dreams

I need to know your safe
I want to know your loved
I hope you know you’ve changed my life
And everything above
Cause you’ve helped a person through this world
To learn from his mistakes
And that deserves a thousand hands
Cause It’s you that makes him ache

You’ve ripped his heart apart
Torn it away at the seams
But he’d pick a thousand roses
Just to show how much you mean to him

I need to know your safe
I want to know your loved
I hope you know you’ve changed my life
And everything above
Cause you’ve helped a person through this world
To learn from his mistakes
And that deserves a thousand hands
Cause It’s you that makes him shake.

Comments and opinions?? Ta

meh... I couldn't really get into this one. I can see where you're coming from and they're were a couple of good lines, but I didn't really like it overall.

Ah see now, I really liked these lyrics! I think it is very powerfully written, with very good lines in it! There is nothing within those lyrics that I would change, and I like the way that the lines are cleverly worded e.g "And how you able me to stand" it's a different way to write that line! I like it! Very well done!
