kenzie xavier - roses and violets lyrics

[verse 1]
roses and violets on the windowsill
they used to mean something, now they just sit still
the colors fade like we did too
i water them, but i think of you

used to dance in the pouring rain
now i just walk home, feel the same
love like a storm, came fast, then left
now it’s just memories and what’s left

[pre+chorus 1]
we said forever like we knew the way
but even promises can slip away
now every petal feels like proof
that beauty doesn’t always mean the truth

[chorus 1]
roses and violets soft, then sharp
they bloom in peace, but break your heart
i held them close like i held you
both looked perfect, both cut through
now they’re just flowers in a broken vase
quiet reminders that love won’t stay
roses and violets
they don’t lie, but people do
[verse 2]
i still have that old note you wrote
faded ink, but i know the quote
“love is forever” you signed your name
now it feels more like a cruel game

i left your hoodie on the back of the chair
haven’t touched it, but it’s still there
some things i can’t bring myself to move
like i’m still holding on to you

[pre+chorus 2]
we were soft like petals, strong like fire
but fire burns and then gets tired
guess we were real, but not enough
to make it through the harder stuff

[chorus 2]
roses and violets sweet, then gone
the bloom was right, but the roots were wrong
i loved you more than i could say
but love like that just slips away
now they just sit there in the light
too bright to miss, too wrong to fight
roses and violets
they don’t lie, but people might
[bridge]
some things look better from far away
like us, like hope, like yesterday
but i still care in my own way
even if i don’t ask you to stay

i still dream you’re next to me
but wake up with this empty sheet
and maybe that’s the price i pay
for loving hard and looking away

[instrumental drop / vocal chop]
“look away… love fades here…”

[verse 3]
trapped in a loop of what felt clear
and now the flowers start to dry
but i can’t bring myself to say goodbye

[chorus 3 – final]
roses and violets still in bloom
but not the kind that fill a room
more like the ones that stay unseen
the kind you carry in between
now i just smile when i pass by
pretend i’m fine, and say goodbye
roses and violets
they don’t love, but they survive
roses and violets
they’re still here, and so am i
