🎤 [Intro – 4 bars, soft vocal lead-in]
🎵
Mmm…
It was 12:45 when I pulled to the side...
Had five bucks and your name on my mind...
Gas station roses, still holdin’ tight...
But you were already gone that night…
🎵

🎤 [Hook – 8 Bars, soft chorus]
🎵
Gas station roses, crushed in the seat
I picked 'em up prayin’ you'd come back to me
Red turned to gray in the warmth of my hand
Still hopin’ you'd understand
Midnight regret in a cloud of smoke
Your name in my chest like a prayer I choke
You took your light, now the road feels colder
Still holdin’ these roses… but they just get older
🎵

🎤 [Verse 1 – 8 Bars]
🎵
I stopped at the corner where we used to laugh
Where your perfume still cuts through the past
The pump light flickers like your goodbye
And I’m hummin’ your name in the pale moonlight
Tried to buy love for a dollar and change
But you needed peace, not more of my pain
And these petals won't fix what I broke
But I still drive with hope…

🎤 [Hook – 8 Bars]

Gas station roses, crushed in the seat
I picked 'em up prayin’ you'd come back to me
Red turned to gray in the warmth of my hand
Still hopin’ you'd understand
Midnight regret in a cloud of smoke
Your name in my chest like a prayer I choke
You took your light, now the road feels colder
Still holdin’ these roses… but they just get older

🎤 [Bridge – 4 Bars, falsetto harmony option]
🎵
You said, “Don’t chase me unless you know why…”
Now I’m askin’ the stars every night…
Was I too late or just too blind?
To see you slippin’ outta my life…
🎵

🎤 [Final Hook – 8 Bars, lifted vocally]
🎵
Gas station roses, layin’ in dust
Thought they meant love, now they just mean “us”
Late-night drivin’, tears on the beat
Singin’ our song with no one in the seat
You left with peace, I stayed with pain
You don’t miss me — just the sound of my name
Still bring you roses in the back of my mind…
But they don’t bloom this time…
