Lyrics & Translation
It doesn't faze me when they all think I'm so innocent, yeah
I'm looking sweet, but I'm all dynamite (but I'm all dynamite)
Don't believe me when I say that I bite
Go ahead and try, boy, try your best
As it's known, I'm dangerous
Ah, I'm dangerous (uhm)
But you know that the choice is yours
Oh, you might regret if you take that step
Just like a rose, full of thorns
My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world
A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy
I can't hide no more
With my beautiful thorns
Yeah, people always pass by
It's been quite a while
Hey, did that one bloom? No, probably died
These baddest thorns, I was piercing myself
If you wanna get closer, you can't resist
Then baby, move in, get closer, can you handle it?
Go ahead and try, boy, try your best
As it's known, I'm dangerous
Ah, and so now that you've been warned
You know that the choice is yours
Oh, you might regret if you take that step
Just like a rose, full of thorns
My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world
A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy
I can't hide no more
With my beautiful thorns
The sun rises, but I can't see it (people have no way to know)
I fall asleep again in this reality
When sweat and tears have dried up (drinking my thorns)
Still doubting me as I stand up
Still, my feet are frozen (can't get up today either)
It seems like life is still here
I can't give up, still in this world (hating the fact that I'm alive)
I want to feel grateful, it seems
Just like a rose, full of thorns
My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world (if there's no one, then I'll fly high)
A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy (a few scars, I'm already alright)
I can't hide no more (I'm coming now, so no need to worry)
I'm alive now like bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom
Just like a rose, full of thorns
My heart ain't yours, even in this ugly world (yeah)
A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy
I can't hide no more
With my beautiful thorns
With my beautiful
A flower that bloomed, even if it's muddy
I can't hide no more
With my beautiful thorns
