Roses Don't Erase It

[Intro]
You don’t get to rewrite this
Just because you regret it now.

[Verse 1]
You lied straight to my face,
Then called it love when I cried.
You disappeared, came back different,
But somehow I was always the one who tried.

You cheated and you broke me,
Piece by piece, slow and quiet.
Made me feel replaceable,
Like I was nothing, like I deserved the silence.

I questioned every part of me,
Every flaw you could exploit.
You didn’t just hurt my heart —
You destroyed my sense of worth.

[Pre-Chorus]
And now you say you’ve “changed,”
Like that undoes the damage done.
Like healing is automatic
Just because you finally feel some.

[Chorus]
You bring me roses at my door,
Like flowers fix what you broke before.
But love doesn’t grow in apology texts,
Or calls I don’t answer anymore.

You say you’ve learned, you say you’re new,
But I lived through the worst of you.
You want another chance to try —
I’m still surviving the last time.

[Verse 2]
You call my phone almost every day,
Say my name like it still belongs to you.
I don’t read it, I don’t reply,
Because silence is the only truth.

You show up when I pull away,
Like persistence equals care.
But you didn’t show up when it mattered —
When I was breaking right there.

You want me back, you want “us,”
You want forgiveness on demand.
But I’m not the girl you shattered
Just because you say you understand.

[Pre-Chorus]
You mistake my distance for confusion,
My quiet for unfinished pain.
But I’m not lost — I’m done explaining
Why I won’t stand in that rain again.

[Chorus]
You bring me roses at my door,
Like time erased the blood on the floor.
But I remember every night I begged
While you gave me reasons to doubt myself more.

You say you’ve changed, you swear it’s real,
But change doesn’t undo how you made me feel.
You want love rebuilt from the ground —
I’m still digging myself out.

[Bridge]
You didn’t just lose me —
You taught me how to leave.
And I won’t unlearn that lesson
Just because you finally believe.

[Chorus]
So keep the roses, keep your words,
They’re too late, they still hurt.
I’m not cruel — I’m just done,
Choosing peace over what we were.

You broke me once, I won’t let you twice,
I paid too high a price.
This isn’t anger — it’s the truth
I won't go back again.

[Outro]
You can change.
You can heal.
Just don’t expect me
To come back and prove it’s real.
