the jolie rose

the jolie rose

---

It is late and I am cold,

Nothings changed except for the snow, I've been waiting for an answer,

Hoping I could call your bluff,

I've been giving you second chances,

Thinking maybe I gave too much.


What you want from me,

Is not something I could give for free,

And all I know in this life,

Is you cant stop breathing.


What ever it takes,

Just tell me you'll stay with me forever.

Dont turn away, just tell me you'll stay,

because when we're together,

I see stars above the headlights,

And they don't seem so far away.


Whatever it takes,

Just tell me you'll stay,

Whatever it takes,

Whatever it takes.


I am ashamed and you are lost,

We both ache for things that we haven't got.

I was praying you'd find me,

Teach me something I didn't know,

I was praying you'd find me,

Praying you'd guide me home.


What you want from me,

Is not something I could give you for free,

And all that I know in this life is you cant stop breathing.


What ever it takes,

Just tell me you'll stay with me forever.

Dont turn away, just tell me you'll stay,

because when we're together,

I see stars above the headlights,

And they don't seem so far away.


Whatever it takes,

Just tell me you'll stay,

Whatever it takes,

Whatever it takes.


I'm afraid of things I don't know,

And I miss your face whenever your gone.

Whatever it takes please,

Just tell me you'll stay.
