Memphis May Fire - The Rose lyrics

rate me

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 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 backseat?

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 and 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 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 backseat?

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 backseat?

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
