From_Now_On Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 "I Kept The Rose" An early evening Spent in the soft cold rain Smile on my face But inside just pain I go inside Alone in the crowd Then you came to me It all turned around --Chorus-- I'll say I've forgotten you And I'll move on I suppose But it hurts just to look at you and I kept the rose --End Chorus-- I kept the rose To remember the night Everything was so senseless But that was alright With a smile on my face And a dying, forgotten dream Well everything's not Just as it may seem (chorus) A wilted rose lies in the back of my drawer I can't throw it away Though it shouldn't mean a thing anymore Dried up leaves And yellowed petals Like a promise you just couldn't keep I look at it dying If I could look inside myself That's probably what I'd see (chorus) You threw me aside But I can't throw it all away I know everyone else Thinks I'm doing okay I'll say I've forgotten you And I'll move on I suppose But it hurts just to look at you and I can't hold onto you and I cannot keep you So… I kept the rose It's so very easy To say that you love me And it's so charming So charming, oh I know you thought you meant it then But you don't mean it still, no You didn't keep your promises but… I kept the rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalshane Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Bravo!!! That was incredible! I really like the part, "dried up leaves,and yellowed petals, like a promise you just couldn't keep, I look at it dying,if i could look inside myself,that's probably what I'd see." You're a talented writer. I look forward to seeing more. I wish I could hear it sung! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a talented writer. I look forward to seeing more. I wish I could hear it sung! Thank you very much for your comment. That stanza is one that I like better out of it myself. It was inspired by a visual that actually inspired the whole song. I actually do still have a rose in my drawer. I kind of forgot about it for a little I suppose...and I don't have the heart to toss it. But I'm still not over him and when I saw it there all dried up, wilted, and brittle...it was like the epitome of my emotions. So that part has a real visual for me. Anyway, thanks again.
