Bleeding on the Stems

Verse 1

Red petals on the kitchen floor

I told myself I wouldn't call

But midnight makes me weak

And your voicemail's not enough

Pre-Chorus

I planted something in the dirt

Hoping it would grow

But you watered it with silence

Now I'm reaping what I know

Chorus

Roses red in the moonlight

Thorns cutting through my skin

You said love was like a garden

But you left me out in the wind

Roses red in the moonlight

I'm bleeding on the stems

I keep picking at the petals

Does he love me or not again

Drop

Roses red

Roses red

Roses red in the moonlight

Verse 2

I pressed one in a book you gave

Summer 2023

The pages turned to dust now

Like you ever cared for me

Pre-Chorus

I built a trellis from the lies

You draped across my chest

Now the vines are growing inward

And I can't catch my breath

Chorus

Roses red in the moonlight

Thorns cutting through my skin

You said love was like a garden

But you left me out in the wind

Roses red in the moonlight

I'm bleeding on the stems

I keep picking at the petals

Does he love me or not again

Bridge

I should throw them all away

Every dried up memory

But I'm still holding onto thorns

Bleeding out for you to see

Chorus

Roses red in the moonlight

Thorns cutting through my skin

You said love was like a garden

But you left me out in the wind

Roses red in the moonlight

I'm bleeding on the stems

I keep picking at the petals

Does he love me or not again
