Paroles
[Verse 1]
From fairest creatures we desire increase
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own
[Pre-Chorus]
mirror, you turn away
Like time won’t ask you back
If the bloom don’t move
It will fade in place
[Chorus]
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
Let your tender heir
Carry you tonight
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
What you hold inside
Deserves a second life
[Verse 2]
You keep it close in your palm
Like seed in a paper fold
One day the rain comes down
And asks what you won’t unload
So open, love, open
Before the hour runs thin
Let something of you
Walk out through your skin
[Pre-Chorus]
mirror, you turn away
Like time won’t ask you back
If the bloom don’t move
It will fade in place
[Chorus]
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
Let your tender heir
Carry you tonight
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
What you hold inside
Deserves a second life
[Bridge]
And if the wall feels high
And if the years feel cruel
A name can cross the dark
When love becomes the rule
So give me one small sign
One leaf, one line, one spark
I’ll hold it for the spring
I’ll guard it in my heart
[Final Chorus]
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
Let your tender heir
Carry you tonight
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
What you hold inside
Deserves a second life
From fairest creatures we desire increase
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own
[Pre-Chorus]
mirror, you turn away
Like time won’t ask you back
If the bloom don’t move
It will fade in place
[Chorus]
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
Let your tender heir
Carry you tonight
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
What you hold inside
Deserves a second life
[Verse 2]
You keep it close in your palm
Like seed in a paper fold
One day the rain comes down
And asks what you won’t unload
So open, love, open
Before the hour runs thin
Let something of you
Walk out through your skin
[Pre-Chorus]
mirror, you turn away
Like time won’t ask you back
If the bloom don’t move
It will fade in place
[Chorus]
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
Let your tender heir
Carry you tonight
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
What you hold inside
Deserves a second life
[Bridge]
And if the wall feels high
And if the years feel cruel
A name can cross the dark
When love becomes the rule
So give me one small sign
One leaf, one line, one spark

[Final Chorus]
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
Let your tender heir
Carry you tonight
Beauty’s rose, don’t die
Beauty’s rose, stay bright
What you hold inside
Deserves a second life
Style de musique
Indie-folk ballad with fingerpicked acoustic guitar, brushed percussion, and warm upright bass; verse stays intimate and spacious, pre-chorus lifts with sighing harmony, chorus opens with stacked female vocals and a simple handclap pulse, bridge drops to solo voice and guitar before a final fuller chorus. Light room reverb, soft delay throws on key words, subtle string swell into the last lift, intimate and golden mix.
