[Verse 1] Late keys still ringing Coffee gone cold by the glass One red rose on the piano Like a question you forgot to ask [Pre-Chorus] Your coat on the chair Your ghost in the frame I press down a chord It whispers your name (oh) [Chorus] Rose on the piano Petals on the white and black Every note I play Pulls another color back I keep leaving it there Till the day I let you go But I water my regret With a single Stubborn rose [Verse 2] Dust on the photo We took in the parking lot rain You laughed at my clumsy hands Now they shake on every refrain [Pre-Chorus] This room feels smaller Since you walked away But the bloom stays bright In the dim of yesterday (yeah) [Chorus] Rose on the piano Petals on the white and black Every note I play Pulls another color back I keep leaving it there Till the day I let you go But I water my regret With a single Stubborn rose [Bridge] I should throw it out Let the color fade But I trace each thorn Like the choices we made Do you think of me When the radio plays? I’m stuck on this bench Counting all our yesterdays (oh) [Chorus] Rose on the piano Petals on the white and black Every note I play Pulls another color back I keep leaving it there Till the day I let you go If this is how love ends Let it end in a quiet glow Just a heart and an empty room And a single Stubborn rose
