DON’T LET THEM CUT YOUR ROSES DOWN

I know that you’ve followed songs that have lead you nowhere
I know you’ve believed in things that have let you down

These empty arms don’t keep you warm
And these hands only hold your fears

Don’t let them cut your roses down
Don’t let them cut
Hold on, hold on

I know that you’ve dreamt of things that have disappeared from view
I know all those crushed hopes that crumple like flowers

All those light that lead you homewards
Don’t take you where you want to go

Don’t let them cut your roses down
Don’t let them cut
Hold on, hold on

And I know your tired and broken
And the cold in your bones
Won’t leave

Don’t let them cut your roses down
Don’t let them cut
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
