TITLE: BARBED WIRE ROSES
[Hook – Cold Verse]
I ain’t good at sayin’ “love,” so I show it in scars,
Barbed wire roses growin’ out the cracks in my heart.
If I let you in my chest, that’s a high-level code,
You the only one I trust with this overload.
[Verse 1 – Cold Verse]
I ain’t never been the “hold hands, write poems” type,
More the “overthink, pull back, ruin my own life.”
But you stayed through the glitches in my head all night,
Saw the worst version of me and still said “aight.”
You seen me go ghost in a room full of light,
Seen me laugh too loud just to hide that bite.
You ain’t call me out loud, you just looked my way,
Like, “I see all that armor, but I’ll wait, okay?”
I don’t promise forever, I promise I’ll try,
Promise when the storm hit, I don’t just say “bye.”
If I tell you my secrets, that’s a blood-signed doc,
You the only one I trust with the keys to this lock.
[Hook – Cold Verse]
I ain’t good at sayin’ “love,” so I show it in scars,
Barbed wire roses growin’ out the cracks in my heart.
If I let you in my chest, that’s a high-level code,
You the only one I trust with this overload.
[Verse 2 – Cold Verse]
You ain’t ask for a hero, you just asked for real,
Someone who don’t hide when it’s time to feel.
I’m still learnin’ how to talk ‘fore I shut down quick,
How to say “I’m scared” ‘stead of actin’ slick.
I got habits from battles that you didn’t fight,
Reflexes from people that ain’t treat me right.
So when I flinch at the soft stuff, don’t take that wrong,
That’s a trauma reflex, not you doin’ me harm.
But I’m here, and I’m choosin’ you again each day,
Even when my old ghosts try to drag me away.
If I call you my home, that’s a heavy word,
‘Cause I never had a place I ain’t half-absurd.
You my break in the noise, my calm in the spin,
The first time in my life “let’s stay” ain’t a sin.
If they ask who I trust when my world corrode,
It’s the one who held my hand through the overload.
[Hook – Cold Verse]
I ain’t good at sayin’ “love,” so I show it in scars,
Barbed wire roses growin’ out the cracks in my heart.
If I let you in my chest, that’s a high-level code,
You the only one I trust with this overload.
[Verse 3 – Cold Verse]
One day if I slip, say some shit I regret,
Know I heard it in my head as a siren, bet.
I’ll own what I break, I won’t blame my past,
I’ll fix what I can, I’ll move back fast.
‘Cause I’d rather learn how to love all wrong,
Than stay perfect alone with a cold-ass song.
You the verse I don’t ghostwrite, I mean every line,
No disguise, no mask, just a flawed design.
If this life get messy and the shine fade out,
You still got a place in my mind, no doubt.
I’m Fire & Frost, yeah, but around you, see,
The ice don’t melt—
it just finally feel free.
[Hook – Outro]
I ain’t good at sayin’ “love,” so I show it in scars,
Barbed wire roses growin’ out the cracks in my heart.
If I let you in my chest, that’s a high-level code,
You the only one I trust when my heart overloads.
