Swimming against the current
It's been this way from day one
Always an uphill battle
We never got a single handout from anyone
From anyone
So tell me if we were "damaged goods"
Then what does that make you?
As far as I'm concerned
You're nothing more than just a worthless suit
We are the rose, we are the rose, we are the rose
That grew from the crack in the concrete
I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own
Don't you wish you would've known?
How does it feel now that you're in the back seat?
I guess you should have had a little more faith in me
Now I won't take all the credit
But you sure don't deserve an ounce
So go and talk the talk while we walk the walk
There's no way that you can stop us now
We are the rose, we are the rose, we are the rose
That grew from the crack in the concrete
I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own
Don't you wish you would've known?
How does it feel now that you're in the back seat?
I guess you should have had a little more faith in me
You can lie, you can cheat your way through life
Or cou can take what you don't deserve 'til you die
You can lie, you can cheat your way through life
Or cou can take what you don't deserve 'til you die
You can lie, you can cheat your way through life
Or you can take what you don't deserve 'til you die
But you can never take away our pride
'Cause when they said we couldn't, we did
One day you'll be forgotten
When they said we couldn't, we did
They'll remember our name forever
'Cause when they said we couldn't, we did
I forgive you (I forgive you)
It's not your fault you couldn't see what I saw
You never were to care about the underdog
We are the rose, we are the rose, we are the rose
That grew from the crack in the concrete
I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own
Don't you wish you would've known?
How does it feel now that you're in the back seat?
I guess you should have had a little more faith in me
We are the rose, we are the rose
That grew from the crack in the concrete
I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own
You left us on our own
I guess you should have had a little more faith in me
