Don't start until your mother is served
Say nothing with grace
She will tell you who you are
Quiet rose in the vase

Holding on by holding in
Holding on by holding in

Feel it to be free
You can cut me down
Roots live underneath
Agony of the flower

He tells me it's a misunderstanding
That I don't see it right
Nobody will love me like he does
Love is sacrifice

Holding on by holding in
Holding on by holding in

Feel it to be free
You can cut me down
Roots live underneath
Agony of the flower

Your pain is like rain
While I'm lighting a candle
We're a fire burning in a paper house

Feel it to be free
You can cut me down
Roots live underneath
Agony of the flower
Agony of the flower
