Girl, I double dare you
To keep it all the way one hunnid with me if I’m your man
I’m not gon’ lie, I’m scared too
I know you got something to tell me ’cause you’re fuckin’ up your speech
So, baby, tell me where you were
I’m sick and tired, I know you saw me callin’
I think our shit has been over for a while now
Feel so confused when you say that you don’t need me, oh-whoa
It’s only you that’s making you wanna leave me, oh
Where is this trust? I lost it when you let him fuck
Yeah, you did, yup
Said, girl, I lost it, I lost it, how could you give it up?
‘Cause, girl, you did that one thing
It’s fucked up the way you did that one thing (Oh)
And I don’t care if you was drinkin’, smokin’ with your girls or feelin’ it
How could you consider it? You so inconsiderate
Already made your bed, now lay it down and live in it
Stop actin’ so innocent ’cause you be on that other shit (Yeah, yeah)
Baby, how can I compare you to a queen or a diamond in the rough?
I’m scared too, can’t even recognize you
Don’t wanna look at your face, you make me sick, I’ma throw up
When roses turn blueish, that means your garden ain’t true, yeah, true, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
I know you let them eat it, yes, you did, yup, takin’ food off my plate
Feel so confused when you say that you don’t need me, oh-whoa
It’s only you that’s making you wanna leave me, oh
Where is this trust? I lost it when you let him fuck
Yeah, you did, yup
Said, girl, I lost it, I lost it, how could you give it up? (Oh, yeah)
‘Cause, girl, you did that one thing
It’s fucked up the way you did that one thing
And I don’t care if you was drinkin’, smokin’ with your girls or feelin’ it
How could you consider it? You so inconsiderate
Already made your bed, now lay it down and live in it
Stop actin’ so innocent ’cause you be on that other shit
Ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, you be on that other shit
Ooh, ooh (Oh, oh)
You be on that other shit
Ooh-ooh
Oh, yeah, you be on that other shit
Ooh-ooh (Oh, oh, yeah)
‘Cause, girl, you did that one thing
It’s fucked up the way you did that one thing (I don’t care)
And I don’t care if you was drinkin’, smokin’ with your girls or feelin’ it
How could you consider it? You so inconsiderate
Already made your bed, now lay it down and live in it
Stop actin’ so innocent ’cause you be on that other shit
Betrayal and Emotional Turmoil
“Roses Turn Blue” by Chris Brown dives deep into the pain and confusion that follows a fractured relationship. The lyrics depict a raw conversation between two lovers after trust has been shattered, with the narrator confronting his partner about infidelity. Chris Brown expresses vulnerability and anger, oscillating between disbelief and heartbreak as he questions the authenticity of their love. The vivid metaphor of roses turning blue symbolizes the loss of passion and the death of trust, painting a picture of a love once vibrant but now tainted by betrayal.
Living with the Consequences
Throughout the song, Brown emphasizes the lasting consequences of a partner’s decisions. He highlights feelings of being undervalued, repeatedly referencing the inconsiderate actions that led to the relationship’s downfall. The repetition of phrases like “you did that one thing” underscores the finality of the breach, while the refrain about “making your bed and lying in it” suggests facing the repercussions of one’s actions. Ultimately, the song is a cathartic release of hurt and disappointment, resonating with anyone who’s experienced a broken trust.
