Lyrics The Rose - Memphis May Fire

The Rose

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
You can cheat your way through life
You can take what you don’t deserve until you die
You can lie
You can cheat your way through life
You can take what you don’t deserve until you die, but you can never take away
our pride
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
