Tears of a broken rose

A bad time. Still.

Listening: Rose, NANA's first opening. Anna Tsuchiya

In this darkness, feeling small, knowing wrong, I cry.

Nobody can save me, and I don't want anyone to save me.

I need your love.

I'm a broken rose.

If my tears can shame you to not leave me,

then that is these tears' purpose.

I need your love,

if my tears can shame your soul,

if that's the price for you to stay,

then I will cry.

I need your love, I know

it's no longer true and healthy.

But I'm a broken rose.

I need your love,

even a broken rose still has its thorns.

These tears that shame my self,

if that's what will keep you, if

that's what only keeps you, I will cry them.
