The Rose
Fu Qiong Yin Lyrics

that drowns the tender reed
Love can be overpowering, drowning out one's vulnerability

Some say love it is a razer
Love can be sharp and painful, causing one's soul to suffer

that leaves your soul to blead
Love can be so intense that it feels like it is cutting into one's soul

Some say love it is a hunger
Love can feel like a craving, an unending need

an endless aching need
Love can cause a constant longing and yearning for more

I say love it is a flower
The singer believes that love is beautiful and delicate, like a flower

and you it's only seed
The singer views the listener as someone with potential for love, waiting to bloom

It's the heart afraid of breaking
Fear of heartbreak can prevent someone from fully experiencing love

that never learns to dance
With a guarded heart, one can miss out on the joy and beauty of love

It's the dream afraid of waking
Fear of reality can prevent someone from pursuing their desires

that never takes the chance
One can miss out on love and life if they constantly avoid taking risks

It's the one who won't be taken
Someone who is hesitant to accept love can miss out on its joys

who cannot seem to give
Without being able to give love, one may find it difficult to receive it as well

and the soul afraid of dying
Fear of mortality can prevent someone from living life to the fullest

that never learns to live
Without embracing life and its experiences, one may not truly understand love

When the night has been too lonely
In times of isolation and despair, love can seem like a distant dream

and the road has been too long
After a journey of struggle and hardships, love can appear out of reach

and you think that love is only
One may believe that love is rare and only meant for a fortunate few

for the lucky and the strong
Those who are fortunate and resilient may seem to have an easier time finding and maintaining love

Just remember in the winter
Even in the darkest and most difficult times, there is hope for love

far beneath the bitter snows
Love can be hidden and dormant, waiting to bloom again

lies the seed that with the sun's love
Love can flourish when given warmth, support, and affection

in the spring becomes the rose
With nurturing and care, love can grow and bloom into something beautiful and fulfilling
