Watering Roses

[Intro]
Ohhh

[Verse 1]
We've been back and forth, going 'round and 'round
Beat that dead horse into the ground
Caught between a hard place and a rock
My mom's still holding out hope for us
But some cuts cut too deep to patch up
If I knew how to rip that band-aid off
Then I might finally let you go this time
But I keep tryna bring us back to life

[Chorus]
I've been watering roses
That ain't ever gonna grow
There's only so much you could try to fill up
A heart when it's got a hole
Guess I don't know when to quit
And that's the little bit of loving you that hurts the most
I've been watering roses
That ain't ever gonna grow

[Verse 2]
Like I'm waiting on spring but it just won't come
Them pretty pink petals, well, I ain't seen one
So why thе hell can't I just say I'm done?
'Cause damn you makе it hard to say goodbye
I wish that I knew how to just let it die

[Chorus]
I've been watering roses
That ain't ever gonna grow
There's only so much you could try to fill up
A heart when it's got a hole
Guess I don't know when to quit
And that's the little bit of loving you that hurts the most
I've been watering roses
That ain't ever gonna grow

[Bridge]
How do you know if you're holding on a little too long?
How do you know if it's good or if it's good as gone?

[Chorus]
I've been watering roses
That ain't ever gonna grow
There's only so much you could try to fill up
A heart when it's got a hole
Don't know when to quit
And that's the little bit of loving you that hurts the most
I've been watering roses
That ain't ever gonna grow
I've been watering roses
That ain't ever gonna grow
