Roses Turn Blue Lyrics
Girl, I double dare you
To keep it all the way one hunnid with me if I'm your man
Not gon' lie, I'm scared too
I know you got somethin' to tell me 'cause you're fuckin' up your speech
So, baby, tell me where you were
I'm sick and tired, I know you saw me callin'
I think our shit has been over for a while now
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel so confused when you say that you don't need me, oh-woah
It's only you that's makin' you wanna leave me, oh
Where is the trust?
I lost it when you let him fuck
Yeah, you did, yup
Said, girl, I lost it, lost it
How could you give it up?
[Chorus]
'Cause, girl, you did that one thing (One thing)
It's fucked up the way you did that one thing (Oh)
And I don't care if you was drinkin', smokin' with your girls or feelin' it
How could you consider it? You so inconsiderate
Already made your bed, now lay it down and live in it
Stop actin' so innocent 'cause you be on that other shit (Yeah, yeah)
Baby, how can I compare you to a queen or a diamond in the rough?
I'm scared too, can't even recognize you
Don't wanna look at your face
You make me sick, I'ma throw up
When roses turn blueish
That means your garden ain't true, yeah, true, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
I know you let them eat it, yes, you did, yup
Takin' food off my plate
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel so confused when you say that you don't need me, oh-woah
It's only you that's makin' you wanna leave me, oh
Where is the trust?
I lost it when you let him fuck
Yeah, you did, yup
Said, girl, I lost it, lost it
How could you give it up? (Oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
'Cause, girl, you did that one thing (One thing)
It's fucked up the way you did that one thing
And I don't care if you was drinkin', smokin' with your girls or feelin' it
How could you consider it? You so inconsiderate
Already made your bed, now lay it down and live in it
Stop actin' so innocent 'cause you be on that other shit
Ooh-ooh
Girl, girl, you be on that other shit
Ooh, ooh (Oh, oh)
You be on that other shit
Ooh-ooh
Oh, girl, you be on that other shit
Ooh-ooh (Oh, oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
'Cause, girl, you did that one thing (One thing)
It's fucked up the way you did that one thing (I don't care)
And I don't care if you was drinkin', smokin' with your girls or feelin' it
How could you consider it? You so inconsiderate
Already made your bed, now lay it down and live in it
Stop actin' so innocent 'cause you be on that other shit
About
“Roses Turn Blue” continues the somber mood of the mixtape’s preceding track and sees Chris address his cheating ex-girlfriend. The “blue roses” symbolize how the once beautiful rose (their relationship) wilts and dies when it’s not tended to and cared for. The track’s piano instrumental is sampled from the theme song to the 1983 Japanese war drama, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.
Although confirming her collaboration with Chris in the near future, “Don’t Be Gone Too Long,” Ariana Grande took to Twitter to dispel rumors of her featuring on “Roses Turn Blue:”
“Roses Turn Blue” was one of many tracks supposedly leaked by Chris' old manager, Tina Davis, who Chris publicly called out.
