hidden roses
[Verse 1: nigel naïve]
You left hidden roses on my doorstep
What I’m gonna do with ‘em, I don’t know yet
But they smell nice, they smell like you
Remind me of the things I liked about you
I wanted you so bad before it happened
Now I’ve left you sad, I’m the bad one
You did nothing wrong and that’s the sad part
Never meant to break your fragile heart
[Pre-Chorus: nigel naïve]
But I think about you everyday, please
Just not in the way you thought about me
I was wrong about we
We don’t work the way I wanted
It’s controlling but it’s honest
I was wrong, wro-o-ong
[Chorus: milo]
I thought I wanted you
Turns out, I just liked the idea
Now, I won't speak to you
'Cause you were never dear
About us, I've daydreamt whole damn stories
But now that you're here, you just bore me
Now, I'm left, needing more
I think it'd be better if you just walked out the door
[Verse 2: nigel naïve with milo]
I apologize I couldn’t be the water you need
I’m the whiskey I thought you wanted, not a pure seed
Against my better senses, baby, I loathed that
I didn’t treat you gently, now we’re an ancient artifact
You yelling at me, and I deserve this
If I said we lost touch, that would be bullshit
We never had it to begin with
And still I pushed through it
[Pre-Chorus: nigel naïve]
But I think about you everyday, please
Just not in the way you thought about me
I was wrong about we
We don’t work the way I wanted
It’s controlling but it’s honest
I was wrong, wro-o-ong
[Chorus: milo]
I thought I wanted you
Turns out, I just liked the idea
Now, I won't speak to you
'Cause you were never dear
About us, I've daydreamt whole damn stories
But now that you're here, you just bore me
Now, I'm left, needing more
I think it'd be better if you just walked out the door
[Outro: ChatGPT]
As the echoes of our intertwined confessions fade into the ether, a bittersweet realization lingers. Sometimes what we desire is not what we truly need, and in our pursuit of illusions, we forsake the authenticity that could have blossomed. Yet, amidst the wreckage of fractured expectations, there remains a glimmer of wisdom gained. For in our flawed humanity, we unearth the capacity for growth and the resilience to forge ahead, wiser and more attuned to the rhythms of our hearts. So let us bid farewell to what once was, embracing the journey of self-discovery that lies ahead, knowing that in our reflections, we find the seeds of redemption…
