Discover the story of the song > Brother Unplugged – Alice In Chains

In these lyrics, the protagonist is feeling lonely and sad. He is hiding his emotions and feels like he has lost his mind. He is hoping to find his partner, who has always been distant from him. The protagonist compares the pain he feels to the thorns on roses. He doesn't want to run away from his pain anymore. He has pictures of his partner at home, but they are old and fading. He wonders what his partner's face looks like now. He doesn't want his partner to run away from him like they used to.
