Roses are red
Violets are blue
But roses aren't really red they're kinda this weird shade of apple
And violets are far from blue, they're actually purple
See these are the lies we tell ourselves so the rest of our stories make sense,
Like I keep telling myself that "I love you's" are best said in twos
But I think the chances of that these days are about as good as trying to find a violet that's actually blue so
In that case
Roses are apple
Violets are purple
Good luck trying to finish that one
Because my "I love you's" are lonesome.
