Thorns and Tenderness (刺与柔情)

Lyrics: KKI Music: KKI Arranger: KKI In the darkness of the night, a rose quietly blooms Thorns surrounding tender petals, soft and fragile As if guarding something precious, or waiting for a sign Guarding and waiting, a heart in contradiction The wind whispers, petals tremble, dewdrops fall like tears Rose, oh rose, do you also have a tender heart? Tender heart, tender heart Hedgehog, oh hedgehog, do you yearn for a warm embrace? The coldness on the surface, is it just a disguise? True feelings beneath the mask, who can understand? The loneliness inside, who can truly comprehend? In the classroom, a shadow listens in silence On the playground, a breeze runs quietly by On the blackboard, a name appears and fades Secret affections, growing silently In the diary, a secret slowly comes to life Rose, oh rose, do you also have a tender heart? Tender heart, pure heart Hedgehog, oh hedgehog, do you yearn for a warm embrace? The coldness on the surface, is it just a disguise? Strength disguised, a heart in doubt The loneliness inside, who can truly comprehend? Under the moonlight, the rose dances in silence Under the starry sky, the hedgehog makes a wish Someday, the mask will be removed Someday, the true heart will be discovered True heart will be found, love will come around But for now, let the secret grow quietly In the cracks of time, slowly blooming Do the thorns of the rose guard a precious heart? Does the hard shell of the hedgehog protect a tender soul? The coldness of the girl, is it just a youthful disguise? Tenderness beneath the coldness, a youthful disguise Waiting, hoping, someone will understand
