Scarlet strands,
Petals from a rose.
Soft hands,
That I loved to hold.
Freckles on her face,
Imperfections made of gold.
I wanted to love her,
Now I'll never know.
I guess I missed my chance,
For a healthy romance.
I should've asked her to the dance,
Now all I feel is fear's recompense.
How could I have been so dense?
I guess I'll always miss those...
Scarlet strands,
Petals from a rose.
Soft hands,
That I loved to hold.
Freckles on her face,
Imperfections made of gold.
I wanted to love her,
Now I'll never know.
Anxiety has me feeling empty,
And what did it get me?
I remember clearly,
When she left, the finality,
And all I felt was misery,
Because now all I see is...
Scarlet strands,
Petals from a rose.
Soft hands,
That I loved to hold.
Freckles on her face,
Imperfections made of gold.
I wanted to love her,
Now I'll never know.
Love slipped through my fingers again,
Just as it did back then.
Just like a desert's sands.
Another fire's burned to an end,
As a lover becomes a friend.
And I'll cry as I lie in bed, remembering when I saw...
Scarlet strands,
Petals from a rose.
Soft hands,
That I loved to hold.
Freckles on her face,
Imperfections made of gold.
I wanted to love her,
Now I'll never know.
