Dead Roses

(album: Even When I'm Happy I Listen To Sad Music - 2022)

I know in my mind that I'm in love with you
Please don't waste my time
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses

When you say "oh" before "okay"
That's how I know there's more to say
Tell you I love you but get no reply
Something's been colder 'bout your ways
And I just don't get it
Pick up your pieces then give me no credit
Show all your friends the praise I deserve
Guess that you truly as fake as your edits
Fuck it, I said it
Just 'cause we're talking don't mean we're communicating
That's the problem, feelings like autumn
I keep on falling like where is the bottom?
And you just keep changing
Not sure how all of this love is remaining
If you know me best, my scarlet, my red
Then why does it feel like I'm always explaining
See, I'm tired of fighting, for once I wanna be fought for
Yeah, you so inviting, everyday I'm fighting feelings that I hold
I wonder what go through your mind when they say my name to you
Is it the same for you? I wonder

I know in my mind that I'm in love with you
Please don't waste my time
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses

Why do I feel like sometimes you don't care?
I know my flaws, fully aware
But that doesn't change how I think about you
I'd give up anything for you I swear
Deep in my heart of hearts see that I'm blue
Thinking 'bout better days laughing with you
How do I say I love you that'll make you understand how much I do
I love you infinite, that mean forever
That means together for worse or for better
That mean I'm always gon' stick by your side
Through any storm I know we could weather
Bittersweet love don't prove me wrong
These ain't just lyrics, it's more than a song
I ain't tryna push none of this on you
But couldn't imagine my life with you gone

I know in my mind that I'm in love with you
Please don't waste my time
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses
