Song I wrote with Taylor Swift in mind. Remember when she was rumored to re-release Red? This is what I had in mind for a re-release song called Red Rose.
RED ROSE
VERSE I
You miss my red rose lips
As you take another sip
And get the closer to the edge
To the end of your descendance
So, stop all your pretending
The message that I'm sending
Is you don't need to catch me
I've kept myself from falling
PRE-CHORUS
It's not that you were in the wrong
But together, we're imposters
It's not that I knew all along
That we weren't what once we thought of
It's not that we weren't once in love
But you couldn't be my armor
It's not that he will be the one
But his presence makes me stronger
CHORUS
Rows and rows of red roses
Showing all their thorns
They motion me to mourn
For what we've never known
But, I know what's important:
Taking what I'm done with
Making it to something
One can fall in love with
Rows and rows of red roses
In the wrong moment
Rows and rows of red roses
Gone by the morning
VERSE II
You miss my bright blue eyes
As you sit around and cry
Think about it for a while
How you think that you should try
Stop remembering, asking me
All that you'd thought we'd be
Longer and longer,
You're severed, but lingering
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Our love waned into the ground
Shame it only brought you down
I have bloomed into myself
Patience grew me into health x2
PRE-CHORUS II
It's not that he will be the one
But his presence makes me stronger
CHORUS
OUTRO
Left the flowers on my porch door
So you'd know we'd never be anymore
There were gone by the morning
So you'd know someone else owned my heart
