White roses in the red dirt

You said "It's so beautiful it hurts"

And I knew it and my heart burst

I said was beautiful at first

But

White roses in the red dirt

You said it's so beautiful it hurts

And I knew it and my heart burst

You're so much more than I deserve

But

Long ago

Probably in a galaxy not far from home

I bet there's a version where we're happier

And I didn't have to find a way to go

Oh wouldn't that be lovely

You would torture me

Whisper me reasons that you hated me

Say it in the way that makes my knees go weak

And let me dangle from you like a piece of meat

Oh wouldn't that be lovely

But I think we're formed from old Lego

In a bedside drawer where the stray things go

And I think we're formed from old Play-Doh

That you stole one night from a corner store

And

White roses in the red dirt

You said "It's so beautiful it hurts"

And I knew it and my heart burst

I said was beautiful at first

But

One day you'll move on

Put me in a drawer

I'll just be a ghost in photos on your phone

And you'll see a sunny side：

Shows I never liked

You can put them on

Put the clap track in you life

'Cause I lose all your socks

I tremble when I talk

I veer left when I walk

Really

This is what you want

'Cause you'll find a better one

Someone functional

And slowly I'll dissolve

Into echoes in your walls

But I think we're formed from old Lego

In a bedside drawer where the stray things go

And I think we're formed from old Play-Doh

That you stole one night from a corner store

And

White roses in the red dirt

You said "It's so beautiful it hurts"

And I knew it and my heart burst

I said was beautiful at first

But

White roses in the red dirt

You said "It's so beautiful it hurts"

And I knew it and my heart burst

You're so much more than I deserve

But

I'm a dreamer too

I'm a dreamer too

Paint over the sad bits

I know you that you do

'Cause

Mm everlasting in a different moon

There's a perfect side to me and you

White roses in the red dirt

You said "It's so beautiful it hurts"

I knew it and my heart burst

I said was beautiful at first

But

White roses in the red dirt

You said "It's so beautiful it hurts"

And I knew it and my heart burst

You're so much more than I deserve
