Roses by Elena Pinderhughes Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm just gon' burn all the roses
Don't wanna see my emotions
Don't wanna see my emotions
I'm scared of what they would tell me
I've got my hands at the ready
Don't let me get started
Talkin' like this
[Verse 1]
I don't like to be disrespected
These are just some real easy reflections
You must think I don't know the truth
You must think I ain't been really tested
This ain't the first time i've been asked these questions
[Bridge]
Did you stay out all night long on a Friday?
With that girl that kinda looks like Sade?
How much do words mean when placed next to actions?
What is the price of just listening to passion?
[Chorus]
So I'm just gon' burn all the roses
Don't wanna see my emotions
Don't wanna see my emotions
I'm scared of what they would tell me
I've got my hands at the ready
Don't let me get started
Talkin' like this
[Verse 2]
What happened in the space
Between when we was looking at a place
And you lost your mind?
Did you get afraid that I'd go away
Sitting there you get left behind
Is it time for me to go another way?
I make a line and you cross it every day
And I can’t keep going through cycles with you all the time
[Bridge]
Did you stay out all night long on a Friday?
With that girl that kinda looks like Sade?
How much do words mean when placed next to actions?
What is the price of just listening to passion?
[Chorus]
So I'm just gon' burn all the roses
Don't wanna see my emotions
Don't wanna see my emotions
I'm scared of what they would tell me
I've got my hands at the ready
Don't let me get started
Talkin' like this
[Verse 3]
Its times like these I remember what my mama told me
Don’t be too quick to judge something as holy
They might’ve dipped their head in holy water
But that don’t automatically give them honor
Might’ve been the lesson you just showed me
[Chorus]
So I'm just gon' burn all the roses
Don't wanna see my emotions
Don't wanna see my emotions
I'm scared of what they would tell me
I've got my hands at the ready
Don't let me get started
Talkin' like this
I'm just gon' burn all the roses
Don't wanna see my emotions
Don't wanna see my emotions
I'm scared of what they would tell me
I've got my hands at the ready
Don't let me get started
Talkin' like this
[Verse 1]
I don't like to be disrespected
These are just some real easy reflections
You must think I don't know the truth
You must think I ain't been really tested
This ain't the first time i've been asked these questions
