The Rose

The Rose - Memphis May Fire

Swimming against the current

It's been this way from day one

Always an uphill battle

We never got a single handout from anyone

From anyone

So tell me if we were "damaged goods "

Then what does that make you

As far as I'm concerned

You're nothing more than just a worthless suit

We are the rose

We are the rose

We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete

I never doubted for a second

Even when you left us on our own

Don't you wish you would have known

How does it feel now that you're in the back seat

I guess you should have had a little more faith in me

Now I won't take all the credit

But you sure don't deserve an ounce

So go & talk the talk while we walk the walk

There's no way that you can stop us now

We are the rose

We are the rose

We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete

I never doubted for a second

Even when you left us on our own

Don't you wish you would have known

How does it feel now that you're in the back seat

I guess you should have had a little more faith in me

You can lie

You can cheat your way through life

You can take what you don't deserve until you die

You can lie

Because when they said we couldn't WE DID

One day you'll be forgotten

When they said we couldn't WE DID

They'll remember our name forever

Because when they said we couldn't WE DID

I forgive you

It's not your fault you couldn't see what I saw

You never were to care about the underdog

We are the rose

We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete

I never doubted for a second

Even when you left us on our own

Don't you wish you would have known

How does it feel now that you're in the back seat

I guess you should have had a little more faith in me

We are the rose

We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete

I never doubted for a second

Even when you left us on our own

You left us on our own

I guess you should have had a little more faith in me
