She's the angel on top of the tree
Sugar-heart here she comes, she's going to fall on me
Innocence was our fire, we told the truth
I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth
Chorus
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you...
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you...
Verse 2
They will make you so, so cynical
The fire burns the flesh, destroys the best in me that's old
She's the grace of this world, she's too pure
For the likes of this world, this world is a whore
Chorus
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you...
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you...
Bridge
Ah, it's all mine
Hey, it's all mine and
Help, it's all mine, I
Never knew what I could be
All the darling buds of May, they fall with no sound
They carry you down, they carry you down
..ooooooo....ooooooo..
Verse 3
All the lilies bloomed and blossomed, wilted and they're shivering
I can't stop their withering, oh this world is a war
Chorus
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you...
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you...
Chorus
Tear the petals off of you, and make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you...
