Paroles: Crystal Bernard. Eleven Roses.

A stormy summer came and went
In the garden that we grew back then
I remember when

The single rose you gave to me
With a vow that you would never leave
One you didn't keep

Regretfully I understand
Why the flower crumbled in my hands

There's only eleven roses
I know, I should have known it from the start
I think I know, why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart

Pressed between the pages
I see the missing rose you couldn't find
From the years gone by

Sadly we just threw away
What could've been a beautiful bouquet
So I turned the page

Tonight I just can't bare to see
The faded rose that meant the most to me

There's only eleven roses
I know, I should have known it from the start
I think I know, why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart

The only thing that we forgot
Is do you love me or do you love me not?

There's only eleven roses
I know I should have known it from the start
I think I know, why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart

Only eleven roses
