basket of roses

[Intro: Aras Moon]
Oh-oh, oh
We could have had it all, I figured I could save us
I watched it all dissolve, right there in front of me
Was everything but painless (Woah)
These scenes, yeah, on repeat inside my head
Playing them again, I struggle to accept
Because I know if my reaction was different
Maybe you would listen and hear my voice of reason

[Pre-Chorus: Aras Moon]
I thought we were clever, we outlasted the rest
But love don't last forever, 'bout as long as a breath
Tailored recognition moves the needle ahead
Sifting through the wreckage just to see what comes next

[Chorus: Aras Moon]
Gave a basket of roses for you
Swear I never refocused my view
If I adjusted my dosage, I'd lose
Fill me up with more, this Oxytocin's pure

[Verse 1: Aras Moon]
I was way too giving, huh, was feeding ya, exceeding all of your efforts
All of my energy kept siphoning, none reciprocating endeavors
I can sense all of the malicious that's been built up
You hide this tension behind fallacies and sealed love (Oh-oh)
I think you're mistaken, darling, changes I'm making for it
Holds no importance towards, towards all the progression of us
You couldn't give a care in the world, never gave you food for your thoughts
You'd rather let it sit here and rot, you keep on stirring the pot
So I just take sips of this cup, pop a couple of CC's for good luck
Gimme something to keep me off of the edge, I'll keep running from the end, oh-woah
Because this ain't what I wanted, reactions mixing it's solvent
You left a chemic imbalance with every prolifical challenge

[Bridge: Aras Moon]
Why is my psyche at its lowest with you? Stay controlling the truth
Is every single night the coldest with you? When will I learn to lose?

[Pre-Chorus: Aras Moon]
I thought we were clever, we outlasted the rest
But love don't last forever, 'bout as long as a breath
Tailored recognition moves the needle ahead
Sifting through the wreckage just to see what comes next

[Chorus: Aras Moon]
Gave a basket of roses for you
Swear I never refocused my view
If I adjusted my dosage, I'd lose
Fill me up with more—

[Verse 2: imnotvrycreative]
Had to let that go cause I know how it ends, I see that ending now
Tell me it's not and now it is, don't know what isn't now
Think I'd give my in's and outs, just to have you hear me out
I just don't wanna let you down
I throw my hands up like I'm done, I gave my best to ya
Your words mean nothing, think it'd be better if I'm dead to ya
Just don't know what I'm left to, stumbled over left two
You got your problems, but I don't think I can help you

[Outro: Aras Moon]
Gave a basket of roses for you
Swear I never refocused my view
If I adjusted my dosage, I'd lose
Fill me up with more, this Oxytocin's pure
