Midnight ROSE 🌹

Title: Midnight Rose (Intro – low, confessional) Yeah… Love cost me more than money ever did… Now I just spend nights instead… ⸻ (Verse 1) I gave my heart out like a loan with no interest Now I’m bankrupt, emotionally inconsistent Every “I love you” got a time limit in it So I read between lines like fine print in a sentence Yeah… I built her up just to watch her detach Gave her real, she gave me moments that passed Now I move like a ghost, no strings attached But even ghosts feel pain when they livin’ in the past I been the villain and the victim combined Self-sabotage got a grip on my mind Soon as it’s real, I get sick of the signs Start cuttin’ ties like I’m quittin’ the climb Love’s a gamble, I been bettin’ and losin’ Now I play it off smooth like I’m never confusin’ But inside, I’m tangled in truths I’m abusin’ Like I want it forever but I’m scared to go through it ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) You say, “I’m different,” yeah, I heard that before Same late-night energy knockin’ my door You look like peace but you feel like a war… Still I let you explore ⸻ (Chorus) Midnight rose, petals black with the shine You only bloom when it’s dark in my mind We don’t speak on forever, just live in the vibe Temporary love but it feel like a high Midnight rose, yeah you cut when you close Soft with the touch but you sharp with the soul You don’t stay, you just come and you go… Guess that’s life with a midnight rose ⸻ (Verse 2) Yeah… I read your pain like a language I know Fluent in heartbreak, that’s how we flow You got trust issues stitched in your soul I got regret sittin’ deep in my bones We a contradiction, addiction in skin Tryna feel whole while we drownin’ in sin You say “Don’t catch feelings,” I grin ‘Cause we both already lost from the jump we was in I analyze every text that you send Overthinkin’ like I’m fightin’ my head You say you here but I know how it ends You disappear once it’s real again I could love you, yeah, I know that for fact But love ain’t enough when the timing is cracked So I give you a piece but I’m holdin’ it back ‘Cause the last time I did, I ain’t get nothin’ back ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) We both damaged but we dress it up clean Say we don’t care, but we know what it mean You lean close, I get lost in between… What we are and what we could be ⸻ (Chorus) Midnight rose, petals black with the shine You only bloom when it’s dark in my mind We don’t speak on forever, just live in the vibe Temporary love but it feel like a high Midnight rose, yeah you cut when you close Soft with the touch but you sharp with the soul You don’t stay, you just come and you go… Guess that’s life with a midnight rose ⸻ (Bridge – introspective, Russ-style clarity) Maybe I’m the reason it never works out Too many doubts, too many routes I want real love but I live in the clouds So I push it away every time that it’s found Yeah… I don’t hate you, I just don’t trust fate Every good thing got a due date So I love you just enough… not to break ⸻ (Outro – fading, cold realization) Midnight rose… You ain’t mine, I just hold you at night… Then you gone with the light… And I’m back to myself… Tryna figure out why I still try… 🌙
