Desert Rose Lyrics

Locked in a cold room, and I’m alone waiting to hear from you, chained to the phone
Life is a journey, love never lasts that’s what they tell me
but Iv never asked
Just to know you looked away from me,
when I needed you the most
I don’t want to live with out you
I don’t want to die alone
I hope things work out for you

My lonely desert rose,
My lonely desert rose

Rain keeps on falling but only on me
Lost in a winter of your memories
Just to know you walked away from me
when I needed you the most
I don’t want to live with out you
And I don’t want to die alone
I hope this all works for you
My lonely desert rose
I hope this whole thing works out for you

My lonely rose

Today it didn’t hurt as much, I could almost breath, I could almost touch
But still I keep your heart with in my chest
Pain iv known is laid to waste,
Lost in a sun-set thinking of you
Who are you with now? And what did I do?
Just to know you turned away from me
when I needed you the most
I don’t want to live with out you
And I don’t want to die alone
I hope this whole thing works out for you
My lonely desert rose
Lonely desert rose

Locked in a cold room, and I’m alone waiting to hear from you, chained to the phone
Life is a journey, love never lasts that’s what they tell me 
but Iv never asked
Just to know you looked away from me, 
when I needed you the most
I don’t want to live with out you
I don’t want to die alone
I hope things work out for you

My lonely desert rose,
My lonely desert rose

Rain keeps on falling but only on me
Lost in a winter of your memories
Just to know you walked away from me 
when I needed you the most
I don’t want to live with out you
And I don’t want to die alone
I hope this all works for you
My lonely desert rose
I hope this whole  thing works out for you

My lonely rose

Today it didn’t hurt as much, I could almost breath, I could almost touch
But still I keep your heart with in my chest
Pain iv known is laid to waste, 
Lost in a sun-set thinking of you
Who are you with now? And what did I do?
Just to know you turned away from me 
when I needed you the most
I don’t want to live with out you
And I don’t want to die alone
I hope this whole thing works out for you
My lonely desert rose
Lonely desert rose

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
