no room for roses No room for roses

Verse 1]

I used to leave the porch light on

Hoped someone might be coming home

But the waiting wore me thin

And the silence settled in

I tried to write a thousand songs

About hearts and where they all belong

But the rhymes kept running dry

Now I don’t even ask why

I gave up on love, and I’m still here

No grand goodbye, no shattered mirror

Just a quiet kind of letting go

Of something I don’t need to know more It’s not a war, it’s not defeat

It’s just no room for roses at my feet

And I’m okay… yeah, I’m okay

I watched the world fall head over heels

Chasing fairytales and spinning wheels

But I learned not every soul

Needs another one to feel whole

I’ve had my chances, burned my hands

Read too much into passing glances

Now I sleep in peace at night

No more ghosts to hold me tight

I gave up on love, and I’m still here

No grand goodbye, no shattered mirror

Just a quiet kind of letting go

Of something I don’t need to know more

It’s not a war, it’s not defeat

It’s just no room for roses at my feet

And I’m okay… yeah, I’m okay

It’s not lonely if it’s mine

Not broken if it’s by design

Some hearts weren’t made to chase

Some just need a little space

I gave up on love, and I found me

In the spaces where I used to bleed

Now I build my life out of stone and sky

No more waiting for a reason why

It’s not cold, it’s just complete

No room for roses, but I feel sweet

And I’m okay… yeah, I’m okay because there's

No room for roses, and that’s just fine

Some of us bloom in a different kind of light.
