[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
Стиль музыки
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.
