Alecs Dyno - If Roses Have Thorns

If Roses Have Thorns
Why can't I fight back
And since roses have thorns
Man I could've sworn
I had free choice
But here you are
Pushing me down this void
That you voiced as valid
"Guess what"
This isn't mad libs
You can't tell me what to say and
How to fill in the blanks
I'm not a sheet of paper I'm the writer
I make mistakes
But I plant them in the paper
That I write on
That I plead on
And I grant them
Freedom of interpretation
That I'll fight for
I (I) don't (don't)
Care if the sky will
Fall (fall) down (down)
As long as I'm away from
You (you) now (now)
Then everything will be just fine
And I'll still be here singing
If roses have thorns
Then I can talk back
I know the damn difference between
White and black.
Sometimes you doubt me
And shout that I'm wrong
Tear out the weeds
Just to prove your point
You say I'm a beauty
Then preach that I'm useless
To teach your conspiracy
But I see past all of your facades
So I write on
And I plead on
And I'll let go of my care for you
That you'll fight for
I (I) don't (don't)
Care if the sky will
Fall (fall) down (down)
As long as I'm away from
You (you) now (now)
Then everything will be just fine
And I'll still be here singing
I (I) don't (don't)
Care if the sky will
Fall (fall) down (down)
As long as I'm away from
You (you) now (now)
Then everything will be just fine
And I'll still be here singing
Tell me gardener
Tell me that I can
Then tear my pedals off
Determine who I am
Tell me gardener
Tell me that I can
Then tear my pedals off
Determine who I am
Let me grow (Tell me gardener)
Build me up (Tell me that I can)
Then cut me off
Let me shrivel back (Then tear my pedals off)
To who you say I am (Determine who I am)
I thought I had a choice
But it was only if you said it was okay
I get that you're trying to protect me
But one day, I'll leave you
Become my own
Make my own decisions
I'll move on, I'll forget
But not let your lectures go
At least not yet
I don't
Care if the sky will
Fall down
As long as I'm away from
You now
Then everything will be just fine
And I'll still be here singing
I (I) don't (don't)
Care if the sky will
Fall (fall) down (down)
As long as I'm away from
You (you) now (now)
Then everything will be just fine
And I'll still be here singing
I (I) don't (don't)
Care if this song gets
Lost (lost) now (now)
As long as you will hear it
You'll (you'll) know (know)
That everything will be just fine
If roses have thorns
I can't blame you for wanting
A perfect garden.
But if roses can have thorns
Then I can move on and not be your burden so
Tell me gardener
Why do you want me to grow
And when I do
You cut me down
I fall now
Tell me gardener
Why do you want me to grow
And when I do
You cut me down
I fall now
