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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
[Outro]
No room for roses, and that’s just fine
Some of us bloom in a different kind of light.
