After the roses die
Candles burnin' low, midnight on the clock
Heels by the door, still got your lipstick on
Pictures on your phone, captions say "perfect night"
But when the silence hits, it's you and I
Table full of petals, champagne half gone
Your head on my chest, radio low songs
Valentine's over, truth starts showin' through
Tell me what you need when it's just me and you
When the cards are folded
And the world stops watchin'
Is it still my name you're callin'?
After the roses die
After the lights fade out
When it ain't cute no more
And love ain't loud
Will you stay right here
When it's real, not staged?
After the roses die
Do you still want me the same?
No dinner reservations, no red dress
Just your bare skin and my weakness
No Instagram love, no spotlight glow
Just conversations we don't post
We talk about scars we don't show outside
Past loves that failed, trust we almost lost
If I give you all of me, no disguise
Will you hold it careful or let it drop?
When the music's over
And it's raw emotion
Tell me I'm not just a moment
After the roses die
After the lights fade out
When it ain't cute no more
And love ain't loud
Will you stay right here
When it's real, not staged?
After the roses die
Do you still want me the same?
Love ain't just diamonds and wine
It's patience at the worst of times
If I'm quiet, tired, not at my best
Will you still lay here on my chest?
Say it slow... don't rush
I don't need promises
I just need honesty tonight
After the roses die
After Valentine's night
When it's just us two
In the real-life light
If I love you plain
No games, no disguise
After the roses die
Promise you won't say goodbye
Roses fade, roses fade, roses fade
But if it's real, we won't
