Emma Ndire - Roses

If God is real, you must be listening
You must've heard the tears that I cried that day, when you broke away
So I denied my pain, but my heart broke anyways
How could I live on earth without you in my day-to-day
It's such a shame, we had big plans
We were to fly away on holiday somewhere in France
We'd see the world together, live through this Kenyan weather
It's such a shame, it's such a damn shame
Now you're not here, but I just want to say
That I love you dear, I hold on till May
I'd like to think that you're a starlight, that shines so bright in the night sky
I, I'd like to thank you for the moments, so wholesome, so enormous
I, I'd like to think that you're at peace now, can't get you stressed out, no pain
Even if you asked me now, I'd do it over again
Roses for the ones we lost, those that we lost too early
Roses for the ones I've got, those that stick beside me
Family, a foe, a friend
Love and grief is all the same in the end
So I'm giving roses to the ones I've lost
And roses to the ones I've got
I can still hear your voice in my mind, telling me which way to follow
I can still hear your voice in my mind, that soft soprano
I know it's only been 11 years, the life I've lived feels like a million
I've been so lost without you here, so many stories that you would wanna hear
(Can you imagine) In five years, bought mattresses three times
I kid you not, no lie, I didn't know the right size
(Can you imagine) I might have lost my original P.E. and S.E. certificates
You would've fucking killed me
My sleep schedule's crazy insane, stay awake through the night, and sleep throughout the day
(Can you imagine) I'm so anxious all the damn time, my breath becomes a chore, my mind gets out of line
Ooh, tell me what must I do, tell me what must I do
To get back to you
Ooh, tell me what must I say, tell me what must I say
To see your face again
Now you're not here, but I just want to say
That I love you dear, I'll hold on till May
I'd like to think that you're a starlight, that shines so bright in the night sky
I, I'd like to thank you for the moments, so wholesome, so enormous
I, I'd like to think that you're at peace now, can't get you stressed out, no pain
Even if you asked me now, I'd do it over again
Roses for the ones we lost, those that we lost too early
