You said this would be the last time you'll walk out this door
The last time you'll walk out on me angry
But seeing you leave opened my eyes to the fool that I'd become
I'd lost my love, my future and strength
All in a game of tug-a-war between my pride and you
Then you knocked on my door and gave me a rose
As red as my tear stained eyes

With one red rose you saved me

With one red rose you loved me
Behind this rose is a sacrifice
A promise that you'd always stay by my side
Words cannot explain all that was said
With one red rose

A family of five resides in a warm home off the dark streets
Off 107th, a white two story
Birthdays, anniversaries, the years and our life flies by
But the nearness of you gets stronger with time
I depend on your faith in me and the courage to help me believe
You close the bedroom door and give me a rose
As beautiful as my one true love

With one red rose you saved me
With one red rose you loved me
Behind this rose is a sacrifice
A promise that you'd always stay by my side
Words cannot explain all that was said
With one red rose

I lay on your chest one red rose
A plant that bloomed and helped our love grow
They lower your coffin down in the ground and I drop our rose
As red as my tear stained eyes

With one red rose you saved me
With one red rose you loved me
Behind this rose is a sacrifice
A promise that you'd always stay by my side
Words cannot explain all that was said
With one red rose
