Hayden Forbes – Rose Petals Lyrics

Rose Petals Lyrics by Hayden Forbes

“Rose Petals” is the lead single and third track off of Hayden Forbes’ debut album A Musician’s Nature.

If you’ve ever received mixed signals from someone, you’ve probably turned to the Rose Petals. But do they actually give you your answer?

[Intro]
(Soulker, soulker, soulker, soulker)

[Verse 1]
One day, I met this girl
She made me completely breathless
No atmosphere when she’s around
I’m feelin’ completely senseless
This was the month before January
Love is my own worst adversary
Cause I knew she wouldn’t feel it back
Friend-zoned, dead wrong, and super scary
Went up to her, said “Hello, my name is Hayden
My subconscious’ locomotive has completely faded”
And I hate it, but I made it
Our friendship was created
Time to get to know the wonder woman that I have long-awaited

[Chorus 1]
Rose petals spread across the floor
The stems have started rotting
Teardrops running down my cheek
The flowers started falling
Cause from the crowd’s reactions, it’s hard for me to tell if
She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not
Whistling a sweet tune
An expose in motion
Now it’s a fact I love you
And I don’t know where this is goin’
Cause from the crowd’s reactions, it’s hard for me to tell if
You love me, you love me not, you love me, you love me not

[Verse 2]
A couple of years have gone by
And look how far we’ve both come
Each lovin’ other mother’s young ones
It’s so dumb that I can’t be content
Cause it’s not that simple
An enigma how I can’t solve this riddle
We were joined at the hip, you got caught in the middle
Now I’m alone, uneasy with my status as single
Whew
Least you don’t know what I feel is true
Though my suspicions ain’t dismissin’ this feeling that you will hear soon
But I got a clear view, oh dear you
Don’t want to break your heart with this here tune
Don’t want to speak again?
One thing I hope you do
Is that you think of me every time you see the moon
Shule aroon

[Chorus 1]
Rose petals spread across the floor
The stems have started rotting
Teardrops running down my cheek
The flowers started falling
Cause from the crowd’s reactions, it’s hard for me to tell if
She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not
Whistling a sweet tune
An expose in motion
Now it’s a fact I love you
And I don’t know where this is goin’
Cause from the crowd’s reactions, it’s hard for me to tell if
You love me, you love me not, you love me, you love me not

[Verse 3]
I’m a little older, wiser
So I can see the steps I’ve tripped on
I’m a desperate lover
How could I have these feelings for this long?
And this song’s my confession, a guilty plea said for the jury
But you said don’t worry, don’t scurry
I still need you here by my side
And this ride or die is somethin’ I feel I just can’t take
When you threw the weight off your shoulders
Hit my chest to make my heart break
The last time that we spoke, you started to slowly lean in
That’s when you gave me a sweet kiss
Hopin’ you don’t blame it on your weakness

[Chorus 2]
Rose petals spread across the floor
The stems have started rotting
Teardrops on my notepad
The flowers started falling
Cause from the crowd’s reactions, it’s hard for me to tell if
You love me, you love me not, you love me, you love me not

[Outro]
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me…
Not
Damn
