[Verse 1]

The roses in my garden have been long forgotten

With their pale, wilted petals

We'll look for something much, much more special

New roses will grow much better than the old

We want a brighter shade of red

Like the blood that I, I always shed

[Pre-Chorus]

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder

But I have begun to decay

So tell me I'm lovely before I get oldеr

And I start to wither away

[Chorus]

The sun disappearеd, and the air's getting colder

And I'll cry again, but not on your shoulder

So tell me I'm lovely before it's all over

[Verse 2]

The thorns cut into me oh so perfectly

And although my dress is stained

I must be pretty and in pain

I've already bloomed, now what am I to do?

The rain will help more beauty grow

Along comes a new star of the show

[Pre-Chorus]

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder

But I have begun to decay

So tell me I'm lovely before I get older

And I start to wither away

[Chorus]

The sun disappeared, and the air's getting colder

And I'll cry again, but not on your shoulder

So tell me I'm lovely before it's all over

[Bridge]

Oh, made of flesh, arms and legs

Shoulders, chest, clothed, undressed

Hot and cold, young and old

Lost control, I used to be beautiful

Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder

But I have begun to decay

So tell me I'm lovely before I get older

And I start to wither away

[Chorus]

The sun disappeared, and the air's getting colder

And I'll cry again, but not on your shoulder

So tell me I'm lovely before it's all over
