A stormy summer came and went

In the garden that we grew back then

I remember when

The single rose you gave to me

With a vow that you would never leave

One you didn't keep

Regretfully I understand

Why the flower crumbled in my hands



There's only eleven roses

I know I should have known it from the start

Tell me why there's only

Eleven roses left here to show

Something's missing from your heart



Pressed between the pages

I see the missing rose you couldn't find

From the years gone by

Sadly we just threw away

What could have been a beautiful bouquet

So I turned the page

Tonight I just can't bare to see

The faded rose that meant the most to me



There's only eleven roses

I know I should have known it from the start

Tell me why there's only

Eleven roses left here to show

Something's missing from your heart



The only thing that we forgot

Is do you love me or do you love me not



There's only eleven roses

I know I should have known it from the start

I think I know why there's only

Eleven roses left here to show

Something's missing from your heart
