Four Roses

Clocked out late from a thankless day Same shit job, same shit pay Thought 'bout home, and all her lies We tried like hell but love ran dry Passed that flower shop on Main A single rose to ease the pain But standin’ there made me shake It's not enough, for what's at stake. Fights in the kitchen, tears in bed Words that hurt, things unsaid A rose can’t fix what whiskey made And baby, I ain’t the man I swore I’d stay Yeah, I picked up Four Roses instead Straight bourbon for the words left unsaid I said, “Babe, I brought some roses home” She saw the bottle, turned to stone Cursed my name, slammed the door She ain’t comin’ back no more House is quiet, lights down low Just me and that bottle, pourin’ slow Her shadow's dancin' on the wall And I can’t stop the memories at all One sip burns, two's down smooth Three's when I start missin’ you Four... well hell, that’s where I stayed Drunk on pride and my mistakes Yeah, I picked up Four Roses to numb the f***t Thought whiskey would make me feel alright She needed real flowers, not 90 proof Now I'm all alone with my amber truth I'm sittin' where she used to stay Just me and these four wrong bouquets
