The world is big but my circles are small 
 And please don't try to shut me out 
 I'm in love that's all 
  
 I'm not afraid to listen, if you're not afraid to hear 
  
 And please don't laugh I just can't help, 
 Grinning when I'm giving it all 
 And please don't show you're face around my place 
 I've seen it all before 
  
 And I'm not afraid of dying, but sometimes I refrain, 
  
 I believe that life goes on like a hurricane 
 And you struggle through the pieces till you're not so sane 
 Anymore 
 And so you want and you suffer till you've had enough 
 And in the end there's a heaven in the cold clear bluff, only want 
  
 To come through like roses 
 To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train, 
 In the middle of a bad dream 
 All you wanted was to be proud, 
 Like a rough little 
 Soldier, 
 There's a place where the soul ends 
 Comes through like roses, 
 Comes through like roses 
  
 Looking down I see my cigarette is even, 
 With the horizon that my feet have made in the blanket, 
 Looking back I lost the fight it was uneven, 
 You never gave me time enough to say I was wrong 
 Or I was sorry, 
  
 I can see your head's still spinning like a merry-go-round 
 And you're glaring at the people like you've been shut down 
 Quarter time, 
 It's a war gonna win no matter what it takes, 
 And you can feel every second of the cold heartache 
 Coming down 
  
 To come through like roses 
 To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train, 
 In the middle of a bad dream 
 All you wanted was to be proud, 
 Like a rough little 
 Soldier, 
 There's a place where the soul ends 
 Comes through like roses, 
 Comes through like roses 
  
 To come through like roses 
 To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train, 
 In the middle of a bad dream 
 All you wanted was to be proud, 
 Like a rough little 
 Soldier, 
 There's a place where the soul ends 
 Comes through like roses, 
 Comes through like roses
