Golden Petals

Who is he
Is he better then me
I�ve heard some things
God I hope they�re not true

You use to be
All I ever dreamed of
I tried to tell you
Couldn�t find the courage
So I tried to show you
But was too late

As I saw the truth
I held back the tears
Smiled as my dreams broke
As my heart was torn
I felt my Golden Petals fall to the floor

Who is he
Did he hurt you
I�ve heard some things
He better not not hope they�re true

I would be lying
If I said I didn�t care
The truth is
I still think of what we could be
Even if you never talk to me

As I saw the truth
I held back the tears
Smiled as my dreams broke
As my heart was torn
I felt my Golden Petals fall to the floor

Who is he
Is he better then me
Did he hurt you
As my last Golden Petal fell to the floor

Author's Note

This one I wrote after chasing a girl for years all for nothing. Literally threw myself and everything else at her just to come home from deployment to find that she was more into a guy that wasn�t a good guy... The golden petals concept comes from a gorgeous Rose Gold covered Rose that I had created for her and even confessed my love for her inscribed on the stem. The last verse was inspired by The Beauty and The Beast with his curse. That if he never fell in love by the time the last rose petal fell. He would remain a beast forever.
