[Verse 1]
I wouldn't let you stay
Why would I do that now
I'm not entertained
Or amused by you
[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm restless
And unstable
When I'm precious
Let it be noted
[Chorus]
If I break down and cry
I know it's not because
I would like to rewind
A rose is not a rose
It's a thorn with a face
In my mind
[Verse 2]
Swimming in the pool (Ooh-oh)
Of all my thoughts and desires
And I desire you (Ooh-oh)
But I know you a liar
[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm restless
And unstable
When I'm precious
Let it be noted
[Chorus]
If I break down and cry
I know it's not because
I would like to rewind
A rose is not a rose
It's a thorn with a face
In my mind
[Bridge]
Am I supposed to fade away
And leave without a trace?
Where's the sense in going crazy?
Undermine my heartache maybe
But a rose is not a rose
And you will never know
[Chorus]
If I break down and cry
I know it's not because
I would like to rewind
A rose is not a rose
It's a thorn with a face
In my mind
