In Your Heart I Was A Lily

In your heart I was a lily
But in my mind I was a rose
Blood and thorns in hands that shatter
When they grasp what they do not know

Open arms, I rose to greet you
Open heart, and open eyes
But you were blinded by your passion
Painting on me false disguise

In the fields, the sounds of laughter
The echoes of two lovers stay
How long we spoke of "ever after"
Before we chose to walk away

Because in your heart I was a lily
But in my mind I was a rose
Growing strong, for all your worry
All your attempts to keep me closed.
