White roses in the red dirt
You said it's so beautiful, it-
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
And I knew it and my heart burst
I said it was beautiful at first but
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
And I knew it and my heart burst
You're so much more than I deserve but
Long ago, probably in a galaxy not far from home
I bet there's a version where we're happier
And I didn't have to find a way to go
Oh, wouldn't that be lovely? You would torture me
Whisper me the reasons that you hated me
Say it in the way that makes my knees go weak
And let me dangle from you like a piece of meat
Oh, wouldn't that be lovely?
But I think we're formed from old Lego
In a bedside drawer where the stray things go
And I think we're formed from old Play-Doh
That you stole one night from a corner store, and
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
And I knew it and my heart burst
I said was it beautiful at first but
One day you'll move on, put me in a drawer
I'll just be a ghost in photos on your phone
And you'll see a sunny side, shows I never liked
You can put 'em on, put the clap track in your life
'Cause I lose all your socks, I tremble when I talk
I veer left when I walk, really this is what you want?
'Cause you'll find a better one, someone functional
And slowly, I'll dissolve into echoes in your walls
But I think we're formed from old Lego
In a bedside drawer where the stray things go
And I think we're formed from old Play-Doh
That you stole one night from a corner store, and
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
And I knew it and my heart burst
I said was it beautiful at first but
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
And I knew it and my heart burst
You're so much more than I deserve but
I'm a dreamer too, I'm a dreamer too
Paint over the sad bits, I know you that you do
'Cause, mm, everlasting in a different moon
There's a perfect side to me and you
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
And I knew it and my heart burst
I said was it beautiful at first but
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
And I knew it and my heart burst
You're so much more than I deserve
White roses in the red dirt
You said it's so beautiful, it-
White roses in the red dirt
You said, "It's so beautiful it hurts"
