• I watch him walk by me
    every day it's the same
    I watch him talk to me
    But i don't play his game

    He comes close to me
    and puts something in my hand
    the thorns p***k my skin
    a precious flower, a sacred sin

    I pick the pedals off
    one by one each day
    everyday a new pedal falls
    everyday I pray

    He loves me
    He loves me not

    I will wait
    until that last pedal drops
    I will wait to know the answer
    day by day the pedals go

    One pedal is left
    a tear stains my cheek
    I look at the last pedal
    oh, how could I have been so weak?

    He loves me not
