My Own Spring

Lyrics

Verse 1
You left a rose beside my tea
Red petals curled like secrets kept
I turned the stem between my fingers
And read the note you never sent

Pre-Chorus
One little thorn, one little dare
I wear the color like I don’t care
You thought I’d fold, but watch me bloom
I’m taking up the whole room

Chorus
Rose, rose, I choose how I grow
Petal by petal, stealing the show
Rose, rose, sweet with a sting
I’m not your garden, I’m my own spring

Post-Chorus
Ah-ah, rose, rose
Ah-ah, watch me grow

Verse 2
The vase is empty, window open
Your paper note is gone by noon
I traded all those borrowed endings
For a red dress and a bigger room

Pre-Chorus
One little thorn, one little dare
I wear the color like I don’t care
You thought I’d fold, but watch me bloom
I’m taking up the whole room

Chorus
Rose, rose, I choose how I grow
Petal by petal, stealing the show
Rose, rose, sweet with a sting
I’m not your garden, I’m my own spring

Bridge
No hands can tell a flower where to lean
I found my sunlight in the in-between
Keep your bouquet, I’ve got my own
A wild red heart, a place called home

Final Chorus
Rose, rose, I choose how I grow
Petal by petal, stealing the show
Rose, rose, sweet with a sting
I’m not your garden, I’m my own spring

Outro
Ah-ah, rose, rose
I’m my own spring
