Black Roses & Whiskey

Title: "Black Roses & Whiskey"

Verse 1

You wore that white dress, looked like heaven in July,

But you learned how to tell a beautiful lie.

I was building us a home out of blood, sweat, and dreams,

While you were falling for a ghost behind the scenes.

Found your lipstick on a stranger's glass,

Watched forever turn to ashes fast.

Now the porch light burns, but it ain't for you,

Just the memories I can't undo.

Pre-Chorus

Love can bloom like wildflowers,

Or die beneath the moon.

You buried us at midnight,

Now I'm haunted by your perfume.

Chorus

We're black roses growing where our love went to die,

Two broken halos underneath a blood-red sky.

You kissed forever, then you kissed somebody new,

Now every backroad reminds me of you.

I still wear your name like a scar on my soul,

You're the fire that left this heart cold.

In this dark romance, we're the saddest song,

You cheated once... and I loved too long.

Verse 2

Your picture's still hanging by the old front door,

I don't know why I keep it anymore.

Maybe pain's the only thing you left behind,

A love so cruel it outlived time.

The devil dances where we used to slow dance,

Your shadow still asks for one more chance.

But the whiskey knows what my heart won't say:

Some ghosts never fade away.

Bridge

If loving you was my greatest sin,

I'd do it all again just to lose again.

You stole my heart and left the key,

Now forever's just haunting me.

Final Chorus

Black roses growing over broken vows,

You loved me then—but who are you now?

The moon still shines on this lonely road,

Carrying a love I can't unload.

If heartbreak had a hometown, it'd sound like this,

A country prayer and a Judas kiss.

In this dark romance, there's no right or wrong...

Just a faithful heart that held on too long.

Outro

So I'll leave one black rose on your windowsill,

Not because I love you...

But because a part of me always will.
