Verse 1:
She's the angel 
On top of the tree.
Sugarheart, 
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
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
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 destorys,
The past that made us 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
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you

Break:
I, it's all mine and
Hey, it's all mine
Hey, it's all mine
I never knew 
What I could be.
All the darling buds of me,
They fall with no sound.
They carry you down.
They carry you down.
Ooooh.

Verse 3:
All the lillies 
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
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you



Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you



Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
