48 Roses Lyrics

I've always been reckless and foolish with love
Always pushing my luck with the spirits above
My heart is not crazy, it's just too complex
And with four different lovers you don't get much rest
I've gone and created a mess

So please save some forgiveness for me
A man blinded by love can't think clearly

I'm sure when they tried to narrow it down
Every king's just a slave to his crown
So father forgive my cold shoulder
I just don't have the time to console her
I can fall back in love when I'm older
My time to repent is not over

So please save some forgiveness for me
A man blinded by love can't think clearly
With four different lovers and 48 roses
I need a confessional that never closes

So please save some forgiveness for me
A man blinded by love can't think clearly
With four different lovers and 48 roses
I need a confessional that never closes

Four different lovers and 48 roses
So please save some forgiveness for me
Oh, so please save some forgiveness for me

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.

I believe it's "Every king's just a slave to his crown"

Also needs a re-write for accuracy after the 5th stanza, unless this is a live version vs the record version.
