Black Rose Lyrics

It's who you are, it's what you know
Pressure of a diamond
Your love can hold an anchor
Pressure of a diamond
Grace to my mind
Got my head to the sky
Black Rose
Pressure of a diamond
Black Rose

Words are not enough to come close, to say how much you're worth
Whether it was your last or you all, you always gave it first
With no hesitation, and I'm so grateful for that
Your love was unconditional, I truly love you for that
No matter the situation, you always found a way smile
Life's roller coaster is full of ups and major downs
Never judged, only listened, fussed just a little bit
Our talks were full of wisdom from your life and experiences
But that was you, you only spoke of the truth
People who know and really knew you, know that this to be so true
But as your grandson, Mary, I remember our talks
The words of encouragement you always gave without cost
And I remember me saying, what will I be without you
Now I gotta fill your shoes, you were our family glue
Black Rose, your memories a part of my soul
Still I long to hear your voice, that why I hold on to hope

It's who you are, it's what you know
Pressure of a diamond
Your love can hold an anchor
Pressure of a diamond
Grace to my mind
Got my head to the sky
Black Rose
Pressure of a diamond
Black Rose

This is a letter to my granny in heaven, I hope you're listening
So much is on my heart, but this pain is hard to deal with
See we knew it would come, to this day now here we are
You will always be missed, for every story leaves a scar But this is permenant damage, I gotta see my way through it
I rarely share my emotion, it only shows in my music
With every lesson you taught me, you instructed it fluent
It was sacred I knew it, and I'm forever your student
See a grade was never given, just the greatest of gifts
A best friend, and can't nobody else come closer than this
And I don't need nothing else, from this world and it's sin
I just need my granny back, where's my DeLorean then
Stepping out the elevator with knot in my throat
Wanted to fall to the floor, when I heard you was gone
Black Rose, your memories a part of my soul
February 14th, you lived your life and moved on
I love you grandma

It's who you are, it's what you know
Pressure of a diamond
Your love can hold an anchor
Pressure of a diamond
Grace to my mind
Got my head to the sky
Black Rose
Pressure of a diamond
It's who you are, it's what you know
Pressure of a diamond
Your love can hold an anchor
Pressure of a diamond
Grace to my mind
Got my head to the sky
Black Rose
Pressure of a diamond
Black Rose

Like I remember coming over
Having these crazy conversations
Called me a jackass the other day, when I was making a joke
Bought me my first keyboard
When I dropped my first album, you was there to support me
I love you grandma
Man
Just, just a whole lot to deal like
Not a lot of people to talk to
Not a lot of people to go to, you know
But you were that person for me
And I gotta like
Know that you're gone, you know
Shit
