Lyrics:
I've been watching you wither for too long
Look around you, we all can't be wrong
But to hell with the people you screw
When the universe revolves around you
Prima donna, lawd you think you're special... special

The bloom is off the rose
The truth is now exposed
The bloom is off the rose
Everybody knows the real you
The bloom is off the rose
This is what you chose
The bloom is off the rose
Everybody knows the real you

Come back down to earth you've gone too far
Kissing the mirror, you think you're a super star
And all you dramatize, we can see through your disguise
You are not the source of admiration anymore

The bloom is off the rose
The truth is now exposed
The bloom is off the rose
Everybody knows the real you
The bloom is off the rose
This is what you chose
The bloom is off the rose
Everybody knows the real you

This is how you roll
This is how you roll
This is how you roll all over everyone you know

With your grandiosity
Void of any empathy
In a plastic personality
You're only a sad memory

The bloom is off the rose
The truth is now exposed
The bloom is off the rose
Everybody knows the real you
The bloom is off the rose
This is what you chose
The bloom is off the rose
Everybody knows the real you
We've watched you decompose
This is what you chose
Your artificial pose
Everybody knows the real you

This is how you roll
This is how you roll
This is how you roll all over everyone you know

You know
You know
You know it all, know it all know it all
You know
You know
You know it all, know it all know it all
You know
You know
You know it all, know it all know it all

The Bloom Is Off The Rose

Lyrics:
All those distant memories of yesterday have shown
An image of my shadow all alone
You were the one light in the darkness
The shelter from the cold
The one hand that I would forever hold

Something changed with me forever
The moment that you looked my way
And I thank the Lord for giving me a love that keeps growing 
Everyday

You won my heart on the day you came along
Now what we’ve got’s become unbreakable
And in my arms is right where you belong
Forever ‘cause my love for you is strong
My love for you is strong

So strong

You’re the only one to ever make me feel alive
Every moment that you’re by my side
And now we stand together on this rock
Until the end of time
It’s powerful this feeling deep inside

And every day I’ll hold you tighter
With strength that will not fade away
And I thank the Lord for giving me a love that grows stronger
Every day

You won my heart on the day you came along
Now what we’ve got’s beyond unshakable 
And in my arms is right where you belong
Forever ‘cause my love for you is strong
My love for you is strong

You won my heart on the day you came along
Now what we’ve got’s become unstoppable
And in my arms is right where you belong
Forever ‘cause my love for you is strong
My love for you is strong

Strong
Strong
My love for you is strong

Strong
