Malia - The Stem, The Thorns And The Rose lyrics

I have lived a lonely time Of pleasing you or die, Washed away my coloured thoughts, And chewed the smile from me, Refrain 1 My heart big and warm My thought brushed aside Still he turns the knife in my side Refrain 2 My heart big and strong My soul lost and torn Still I'll stand here with pride You still don't accept me, Thus pleasing you till dawn, Obstacles before me, So I could never fly, Refrain 1 Bled away my strength So that I would break But I know I'll run and hide I won't run and hide I won't run and hide Your guilt is not enough, enough I won't run and hide Refrain 1 & 2 x 2 Last line of refrain: Still I stand by your side!
