"A Rose Alone" lyrics - MR. BIG

When she cried, felt like her last tear for nothing
It's her life a toss of the coin for everything
The girl began to see that you don't need just any man
And her pride is a kiss goodbye on graduation day

She always said she'd be happier alone
She always said she won't be anybody's second hand rose
She's scared, but she dares to be a rose alone

Daddy says, you can't pay the rent on a fairy tale
It's her play she'd rather be free than be safe in jail
Make it or break it, you do what you gotta do
'Cause you can, oh yeah, taste the wine, bittersweet
But the bite still it gets you high

She always said she'd be happier alone
She always said she won't be anybody's secondhand rose
She always said she'd be happier alone
She's scared, but she dares to be a rose alone
