Letra da música
[Verse 1]
I left them on your step
Black petals in a jar
You said they looked like fire
In the back of your car
Your door shut soft on me
Like a secret in a box
I watched you hold the stems
Like you knew what they cost
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the thorns still know my hands
And the ache still knows your name
I keep trying to forget
But it blooms the same
[Chorus]
Black roses, black roses
You wear them like a crown
Black roses, black roses
Bury the good parts down
Black roses, black roses
Still cut me when I hold
Black roses, black roses
Beautiful and cold
[Verse 2]
They sit in a chipped-up vase
On a table by the sink
Every time the room goes still
I hear them start to sink
Into the mud of us
Into the things we said
A promise with the edges gone
A stain that won’t come off the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the thorns still know my hands
And the ache still knows your name
I keep trying to forget
But it blooms the same
[Chorus]
Black roses, black roses
You wear them like a crown
Black roses, black roses
Bury the good parts down
Black roses, black roses
Still cut me when I hold
Black roses, black roses
Beautiful and cold
[Bridge]
Maybe love can rot
And still look like a prize
Maybe every sweet thing
Has a shadow in its eyes
I tried to plant you clean
But the dirt came back alive
Now I see your pretty damage
Every time I close my eyes
[Final Chorus]
Black roses, black roses
You wear them like a crown
Black roses, black roses
Bury the good parts down
Black roses, black roses
Still cut me when I hold
Black roses, black roses
Beautiful and cold
[Outro]
Black roses
Black roses
I let them grow
I let them grow
I left them on your step
Black petals in a jar
You said they looked like fire
In the back of your car
Your door shut soft on me
Like a secret in a box
I watched you hold the stems
Like you knew what they cost
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the thorns still know my hands
And the ache still knows your name
I keep trying to forget
But it blooms the same
[Chorus]
Black roses, black roses
You wear them like a crown
Black roses, black roses
Bury the good parts down
Black roses, black roses
Still cut me when I hold
Black roses, black roses
Beautiful and cold
[Verse 2]
They sit in a chipped-up vase
On a table by the sink
Every time the room goes still
I hear them start to sink
Into the mud of us
Into the things we said
A promise with the edges gone
A stain that won’t come off the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the thorns still know my hands
And the ache still knows your name
I keep trying to forget
But it blooms the same
[Chorus]
Black roses, black roses
You wear them like a crown
Black roses, black roses
Bury the good parts down
Black roses, black roses
Still cut me when I hold
Black roses, black roses
Beautiful and cold
[Bridge]
Maybe love can rot
And still look like a prize
Maybe every sweet thing
Has a shadow in its eyes
I tried to plant you clean
But the dirt came back alive
Now I see your pretty damage
Every time I close my eyes
[Final Chorus]
Black roses, black roses
You wear them like a crown
Black roses, black roses
Bury the good parts down
Black roses, black roses
Still cut me when I hold
Black roses, black roses
Beautiful and cold
[Outro]
Black roses
Black roses
I let them grow
I let them grow
Estilo de música
Dark pop with trap-tinged half-time drums, rubbery sub-bass, and a faint music-box motif; verse stays sparse with close-mic vocal and clipped doubles, pre-chorus opens into stacked harmonies and filtered risers, chorus lands on a big minor-key hook with gang ad-libs and delay throws on the last word. Add reversed petals, vinyl crackle, and a synth swell into the final chorus; polished, moody, and wide with a glossy low-end punch.
