Lavender & Red Roses Lyrics
[Intro: Jorja Smith]
Don't say I never warned you
Don't
Don't say I never warned you
Don't
[Verse 1: Lisa-Kaindé, Lisa-Kaindé & Naomi]
Late at night, devil's eyes
Inner life and inner lies
Is it fate? Is it late?
It's hard to look at you with so much pain
[Pre-Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé]
We connect with open hearts, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
I've welcomed you with open arms, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
Lavеnder and red roses, yеah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
You still walk towards the dark
[Verse 2: Naomi, Naomi & Lisa-Kaindé]
You reveal, your scars heal
Analysing how you feel
Your mistakes, run away
Can't you hear me? Is this promise real?
[Pre-Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé]
We connect with open hearts, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
I've welcomed you with open arms, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
[Chorus: Jorja Smith & Lisa-Kaindé]
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
But you still walk towards the dark
Lavender and red roses, yeah (The dark)
Lavender and red roses, yeah (The dark)
Lavender and red roses
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses

What did Ibeyi & Jorja Smith say about "Lavender & Red Roses"?
We knew we wanted to create something with Jorja that would be different from what we’ve done previously that would allow us to connect with the true meaning of the song. […] “Lavender and Red Roses” is a song about the feeling we all experience when we love someone troubled. It could be a partner,...
What have the artists said about the music video?
When we came across the three sisters of fate from the Greek mythology that personify fate, we knew immediately that it would be the right idea. […] Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos are sisters, one of them creates the thread of fate, the other analyses it and the third one cuts it.
What have the artists said about the song?
Jorja [Smith], she’s a really good friend. It’s a relationship outside even of music. And she just came to see us, just to hear what we had done. We were not talking about making something together at all, and it happened. That’s what is beautiful. And in this song, nobody has a verse, but I feel li...
