Own Roses

There were days, mostly nights I
Got by on cheap red wine, I
Called my parents, had a cry
Almost gave up a thousand times but I
Made coffee, lived to see a
Whole new brand of love that
Had everything to do with me
My island in flight

I grow my own roses
Wasn't easy at the start
When you're not quite sure what home is
When you're growing in the dark
Always thought I'd need somebody
To lay my roots for me
But I found out in the lonely
That somehow in the weeds
I grew my own roses
Oh-woah
Oh-woah, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh (I grew my own roses)

There 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

I grow my own roses
Wasn't easy at the start
When you're not quite sure what home is
When you're growing in the dark
Always thought I'd need somebody
To lay my roots for me
But I found out in the lonely
That somehow in the weeds
I grow my own roses
Oh-woah-oh (I)
Oh-woah, oh-woah-oh (I)
Oh-woah-oh (I grew my own roses)

He can say that
I'm to blame
And they can try to sow my name
But I know me now
I know me now (I grew my own roses)
I somehow learned that
In the hurt
I got the garden I deserve
And I know me now
I know me now

I grew my own roses
Wasn't easy at the start
When you're not quite sure what home is
When you're growing in the dark (I grew my own roses)
Always thought I'd need somebody
To lay my roots for me
But I found out in the lonely
That somehow in the weeds (I grew my own roses)
I grew my own roses
Oh-woah
Oh-woah, (I grew my own roses) oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah (I grew my own roses)
I grew my own roses
Oh-woah
Oh-woah, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh (I grew my own roses)
I grew my own roses (he can say that)
Oh-woah (I'm to blame)
Oh-woah, oh-woah-oh (they can try to sow my name, but I know me now)
Oh-woah (I know me now, I grew my own roses)
I grew my own roses (I somehow learned that)
Oh-woah (in the hurt, I got the garden)
Oh-woah, oh-woah-oh (I deserve, and I know me now)
Oh-woah-oh (I know me now, I grew my own roses)
I grew my own roses
