Roses - Luke Christopher

If there was ever such a clever

Breed of roses that were redder

Than the A upon the bosom of the chick in scarlet letter

I would toss them to the dirt and would appreciate ‘em better

And would toss another bud upon hearing the word whatever

It’s your favorite

I know it cuz you said it enough

We was in it to «Uh»

But came out it in love

It’s a gift from above

It’s the curse of the dove

Fall in love and you can fall right into something that’s rough, but take

I got a knack for bein' too into the world around me

That’s probably why you never trust me when there’s girls around me

You know I never lift a finger like paralysis

I swear that incident happened cuz I was out of it, I swear

I swear you say that once is, is always

And now that time where we existed lives far away

Been tryna work it out but patience is worn

If you ever see some roses better check em' for thorns and say…

They said we were a match made in heaven

I guess you never saw it that way

Oh the flowers I gave you and the love songs I made you

I will never give you roses again

Remember that time where we were sittin' by the lake hmm

And we were talkin' bout all the mistakes I make hmm

How all that shit them broads were talkin' bout was fake hmm

And every apology that I gave you wouldn’t take hmm

Is it my fault that you ain’t used to datin' rappers?

And is my only gift to you a little laughter?

What about that glass slipper happy ever after

When you walked all of me and was surprised the glass shattered

Shoulda known that I was sharper than that, huh princess?

And fuck ya teapots, yeah the twin sets

Fuck ya wind chime when the fuckin wind hits

And fuck that pillow that you ordered that ain’t in yet

Could give a damn about ya new school buggie

Errybody know the old school’s better, hunny bunny

So let this be my last bouquet

I be hoppin' in the game I got a field to play and say…

They said we were a match made in heaven

I guess you never saw it that way

Oh the flowers I gave you and the love songs I made you

I will never give you roses again
