*"Roses"** [ Screamed] GO! [ full band breakdown] [Verse 1] Why's it feel like I'm screaming at walls? All these words that I swallow instead Got your number, but I never call Keep rehearsing the things left unsaid No excuses, just fear in my chest While the silence grows heavy and long I keep thinking 'bout what we had left Now I'm wondering where it went wrong [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna wait 'til the music stops playing To say all the words that I'm constantly weighing [Chorus] 'Cause you never know when the good times are ending 'Til they're just a ghost in your mind Now suddenly everything's worth defending But we're always running out of time So I won't let another moment die Without giving you your roses Giving you your roses [Verse 2] Remember when we thought we had forever? Back when simple felt like enough Now I'm drowning in "what if I never" And regretting I wasn't enough All the moments I took for granted Slip away like smoke in the wind Wish I knew what I had when I had it Before the thorns grew thick on my skin [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna wait 'til the music stops playing To say all the words that I'm constantly weighing [Chorus] 'Cause you never know when the good times are ending 'Til they're just a ghost in your mind Now suddenly everything's worth defending But we're always running out of time So I won't let another moment die Without giving you your roses Giving you your roses [Bridge - Building intensity] Red roses for the love I never showed White roses for the peace I'll never know Black roses for the words I'll never say Dead roses for the chances thrown away But I'm still here, still breathing, still trying To make sense of all this denying That time moves fast and hearts break slow And some things you just gotta let go [Guitar Solo - Extended instrumental break] [Verse 3 - Softer, more vulnerable] So here I am with dirt under my nails Planting seeds in the wreckage we made Maybe something beautiful prevails From the mess of the choices we've paid I can't change what's already been written But I can choose what happens next Won't let fear keep my heart hidden When love's all that's left [Final Chorus - Most intense, with vocal variations] 'Cause you never know when the good times are ending 'Til they're just a ghost in your mind Now suddenly everything's worth defending But we're always running out of time So I won't let another moment die Without giving you your roses (I'm giving you your roses) Without giving you your roses (While they're still alive) Giving you your roses Before we say goodbye [Outro - Fading] GOODBYE! [ Heavy Breakdown]
