Roses Die, but Your Memory Stays

[Verse 1]

The roses you gave to me

Sit on my sill in a beautiful vase,

A smile always forms on my face

When my eyes glance their way

It doesn't matter, it's been weeks,

Since our last conversation

Those flowers you had

Placed in my open palms

Will be the one memory

That never leaves me

No matter the bridge of time

That's, placed between us,

[Chorus]

(Oooh-)

Roses die, but your memory stays

And I wish you knew how

Precious, those are to me,

(Beautiful, long-lasting memory)

I remember the day,

The scents,

And the place we were in,

(They will never die with me)

Even if the roses wither,

Your memory always stays

(Roses die, but your memory stays)

[Verse 2]

My heart still flutters when I see your face,

And all I want to do is race to your embrace

But I fear your rejection in public spaces

Would you still accept me even if we're not alone?

Would you allow me to be beside you,

To not be lost in the shadows

Stuck in a liminal space between light and you,

With the shadows slowly creeping in

My heart is bleeding out for you

Will you hear the call or choose to ignore it

Does my presence excite you

Or am I a passing phase?

[Chorus]

(Oooh-)

Roses die, but your memory stays

And I wish you knew how

Precious, those are to me,

(Beautiful, long-lasting memory)

I remember the day,

The scents,

And the place we were in,

(They will never die with me)

Even if the roses wither,

Your memory always stays

(Roses die, but your memory stays)

[Bridge]

It's the memory of you that pushes me through

The flowers only mean so much

Cause they came from you,

A personal horcrux that won't let me

Let go of you-

[Outro]

(Oooh-)

Roses die, but your memory stays

And I wish you knew how

Precious, those are to me,

(Beautiful, long-lasting memory)

I remember the day,

The scents,

And the place we were in,

(They will never die with me)

Even if the roses wither,

Your memory always stays

(Roses die, but your memory stays)
