White Roses

(Verse One)
You bought me flowers at the grocery store and it was on a Tuesday
My heart was like a sparkler on the fourth which passed the previous Sunday
Lost my virginity to you two weeks before, I would trust you with my life
My obsession's clear as day, what would I wear the day I become your wife

(Chorus)
Put those roses in my hand
Saying you are not the man - for me
Flowers devoid of color
Your words are black and white, they scream
The roses in my hand are white
But the ones for your new flame are scorching red (scorching red)
The only time I’m good for you
Is when we're burning holes in your bed (in your bed)

(Verse Two)
Speeding home late Wednesday night still high on coke, booze, weed and sweet nicotine
I left there unexplained, don't wanna talk about it, that is what I need
You couldn’t tell that I was jealous, but I couldn't stand to see her in your arms
The only comfort I felt was the chilled night, through tears I saw all the stars

(Chorus)
Put those roses in my hand
Saying you are not the man - for me
Flowers devoid of color
Your words are black and white, they scream
The roses in my hand are white
But the ones for your new flame are scorching red (scorching red)
The only time you're good to me
Is when I shut up, move on and forget (just forget)

(Bridge)
Left those roses on her counter and I'm gonna be home in an hour
You drained me of all my power and this heartbreak's sweet and sour
Swiping through these matches while I'm alone on this mattress
And my heart has been in fractions, I am gonna do some subtractions
You've done nothing but made my heart hurt, it's something I don’t think I’ll get over
While you're saying how much you like her, I don’t wanna hear that shit sober
I've been nothing to you but loyal, she is bringing my blood to a boil
My insecurities, my paranoia, tell me I am not the one for ya
So I walked out saying “screw it,” all those chances I gave you you blew it
I didn't think you could do it, but deep down I think I knew it
