Roses Lyrics

If you want to be my best friend
Then show it
If you want to live inside me
Don't blow it

I don't want to stand in line
I don't want to waste my time
I just want to be the one

I don't want to be around
When you come down
I just wanted you to know
The roses always grow

If you want to hear I love you
Then say it
If you want to hear I need you
The prove it

I don't want to stand in line
I don't want to waste my time
I just want to be the one

I don't want to be around
When you come down
I just wanted you to know
The roses always grow

Did you think it would last forever, baby
Did you think I would drag you under

I don't want to be around
When you come down
I just wanted you to know
The roses always

I just want to be with you
Not alone
I just wanted you to know
The roses always grow

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
