Stolen Roses Lyrics - Singles - Karen Elson

There once was a time when I was a girl 

That darkness hung in my sky 

I was old before I learned to be young 

Stone cold 'til I learned how to cry 

And the weeds in the ground had grew up through my skin 

Foresaking a lonesome girl's heart 

I would go where the stolen roses grow 

To forget that I had fell apart 

The thorns on the roses cut through my skin 

The vultures flew down and they pecked 

What lay on the surface was a tiny crack 

But below was a gigantic wreck 

So I held my head down and I dealt with the blows 

In hope that I'd soon be free to 

Go where the stolen roses grow 

To forget all the bad memories 

I would go where the stolen roses grow 

I would go where the stolen roses grow 

And the weeds in the ground had grew up through my skin 

Foresaking a lonesome girl's heart 

I would go where the stolen roses grow 

To forget that I had fell apart 

I would go where the stolen roses grow 

To forget that I had fell apart
