Col3trane – Roses lyrics

[Verse 1]
(yeah) How's it so easy now?
Every time that I'm home you calling to see me, wow
But when I'm away and doing the scenic route
Are you holding it down?
Is the jealousy creeping now? (yeah)
Bring you roses every day if I say that I can
Seeing flowers up by the bay, it remind me who I am
Put a smile back on my face; and it's sad it's not with you
But you know why that's the case

[Chorus]
I been operating solo, I don't want to smell the roses
I gave you a dozen of chances like a hopeless romantic
Unnoticed

[Verse 2]
Yeah, my Tsarina in a two seater, in a four door or in a Range
My golly gosh her hand slips the stick shift and I forget about the days
When the sun beamed through the sun roof but I was lost out in L.A
So I called back for the rain, girl, to find myself, find my perspective
I call you when I need reminding and all I get is the tone
I bet you look down but don't even pick up the phone
Yeah, I guess it's okay, girl I got plenty to say but you ignore
So it's back to my ways, I do it better without you anyways
So fuck you


[Chorus]
I been operating solo, I don't want to smell the roses
I gave you a dozen of chances like a hopeless romantic, unnoticed
And I been operating solo, I don't want to smell the roses
I gave you a dozen of chances like a hopeless romantic, unnoticed

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I do it all in the matrix never in real life
In the day time hide my face in the shade, it's—
Hard to talk to you from miles way, like everyday, I'll—
Take a real flight back to you just as soon as I get paid, yeah
All of the shit I pull, telling these lies, fake news
I've tried it all on you, but you the only one that's gonna catch me when I'm falling out the boot, oh
I pop a pill at the shoot, oh
I wear my chucks with the suit, oh
Thats the imbalance I feel, I know it's for real

[Chorus]
I been operating solo, I don't want to smell the roses
I gave you a dozen of chances like a hopeless romantic, unnoticed
And I been operating solo, I don't want to smell the roses
I gave you a dozen of chances like a hopeless romantic, unnoticed
