The Rose Lyrics - Westlife

1 '''Shane:'''

2 Some say love, it is a river

3 That drowns the tender reed

4 Some say love, it is a razor

5 That leaves your soul to bleed

6 Some say love, it is a hunger

7 An endless aching need

8 I say love, it is a flower

9 And you, it's only seed

10 '''Mark:'''

11 It's the heart, afraid of breaking

12 That never learns to dance

13 It's the dream, afraid of waking

14 That never takes the chance

15 It's the one who won't be taken

16 Who cannot seem to give

17 '''Shane:'''

18 And the soul, afraid of dying

19 That never learns to live

20 '''All:'''

21 When the night has been too lonely

22 And the road has been too long

23 And you think that love is only

24 For the lucky and the strong

25 '''Mark:'''

26 Just remember in the winter

27 Far beneath the bitter snows

28 '''Shane:'''

29 Lies the seed

30 That with the sun's love, in the spring

31 Becomes the rose
