Roses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not that I'm afraid I'm not enough for her
It's not that I can't find the words to say
But when she's with him, she seems happier
And I don't want to take that away
How many times can I see your face?
How many times will you walk away?
I just have to let you know
I'm not tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you, baby
Tell me if I'm wrong and this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow? (Uh, uh, uh)
Die or let it grow? (Uh, uh, uh)
Oh
It's not that I don't care about the love you have
It's not that I don't want to see you smile
But there's no way that he can feel the same, yeah
'Cause when I think of you my mind goes wild
How many times can I see your face?
How many times will you walk away?
I just have to let you know
I'm not tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you, baby
Tell me if I'm wrong, this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?
You can tell me stop, if you already know
Though I'm not sure my heart can take it
But the look on your face says, don't let me go
I'm not trying start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you, baby
Tell me if I'm wrong, this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?
I'm not trying start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you, baby
Tell me if I'm wrong, this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?
(Uh, uh, uh)
