[Verse 1]
Half a dozen roses, wilted on the counter
Whiskey in the jar, pain's my only encounter
Moonlight's a spotlight, shadow my dance partner
Six-string wails, my heartstrings getting harder
[Pre-Chorus]
Glass cracks, echoes in the night
Fists full of dirt, but no wrong feels right
[Chorus]
Half a dozen roses, thorns still sharp
Petals falling slow, tearing me apart
No love letters, just scars in the dark
Half a dozen roses, left to mark
[Verse 2]
Cigarette burns, on the edge of the table
Old cowboy boots, stories in the label
Dusty roads twist like a coiled-up fable
Heart’s a wild horse, broke but unstable
[Pre-Chorus]
Ashes in the breeze, they scatter and fight
Roots in the soil, still losing the height
[Chorus]
Half a dozen roses, thorns still sharp
Petals falling slow, tearing me apart
No love letters, just scars in the dark
Half a dozen roses, left to mark
