[Verse 1]
There were days, mostly nights I got by on cheap red wine
I called my parents, how to cry
Almost gave up a thousand times but I
Made coffee, lived to see a whole new brand new love that
Had everything to do with me and my island in the flood
[Chorus]
I grew my own roses
Wasn't easy at the start
When you're not quite sure where home is
When you're growing in the dark
Always thought I'd need somebody
To lay my roots to me
But I found out in the lonely
And somehow in the weeds
I grew my own rosеs
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
I grew my own roses
[Verse 2]
Therе were stumbles, almost falls
There were boys who never called and
Empty rooms I tried to fill up with tequila shots
When I found him it didn't matter
If he chose to leave or stay
'Cause I knew, I knew me better
At the end of the day
[Chorus]
I grew my own roses
Wasn't easy at the start
When you're not quite sure where home is
When you're growing in the dark
Always thought I'd need somebody
To lay my roots to me
But I found out in the lonely
And somehow in the weeds
I grew my own roses
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
I grew my own roses
[Bridge]
And he can say that I'm the blame
And they can shout us on my name
But I know me now
I know me now
I somehow learned it in the hurt
I got the garden I deserve
And I know me now
I know me now
[Chorus]
I grew my own roses
Wasn't easy at the start
When you're not quite sure where home is
When you're growing in the dark
Always thought I'd need somebody
To lay my roots to me
But I found out in the lonely
And somehow in the weeds
I grew my own roses
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
I grew my own roses
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
I grew my own roses
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
I grew my own roses
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
I grew my own roses
