Rose & Thorn Lyrics

Said what I needed to say, I guess
Left those words a-hanging like a red dress
Oh the mess I've made
A crimson rose, a hundred thorns

Don't ask me to explain for I do not know why
I've been keeping secrets for the first time in my life
Oh the mess I've made
A crimson rose, a hundred thorns
Oh the mess I've made
A crimson rose, a hundred thorns

So I went up to the mountain for to ease my mind
You drown yourself in sorrow with your drinking friends
Oh the mess I've made
A crimson rose, a hundred thorns
Oh the mess I've made
A crimson rose, a hundred thorns

Crimson rose
Crimson rose
Crimson rose
Crimson rose
Crimson rose
Oh the mess I've made
The crimson rose
A hundred thorns

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.
