[Chorus]
I smell the roses
Late in the mornin'
It's all that you left me
Soon to forget me, yeah, I know
I'm at my lowest
Downward and lonely
That's how you left me
Soon to forget me, yeah, I know
I smell the ro—
[Verse 1]
Test my strength in the morning (In the morning)
Just like getting up out of bed
Ooh, I'd rather just lay here (Just lay here)
On the lies that I tell instead
You don't call, but you need me (Need me)
There's that lie that I tell myself
When I think that I miss you (Miss you)
Ooh, it hurts when I'm by myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'd be better alone
Instead of together
With someone who makes it feel like
The rain is gon' last forever
'Cause, baby, I ain't waterproof
Wearin' down at the thought of you
Tell me what the fuck am I to do
[Chorus]
I smell the roses
Late in the mornin' (Late in the mornin')
It's all that you left me (All that you left)
Soon to forget me, yeah, I know
I'm at my lowest
Downward and lonely
That's how you left me (That's how you left me)
Soon to forget me, yeah, I know
I smell the ro—
[Verse 2]
Losin' my lady
Girl, you be drivin' me crazy
I been thinkin' 'bout you lately
'Member you used to hate me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'd be better alone
Instead of together
With someone who makes it feel like
The rain is gon' last forever
'Cause, baby, I ain't waterproof
Wearin' down at the thought of you
Tell me what the fuck am I to do
[Chorus]
I smell the roses
Late in the mornin' (Late in the mornin')
It's all that you left me (It's all that you left)
Soon to forget me, yeah, I know
I'm at my lowest
Downward and lonely
That's how you left me (That's how you left me)
Soon to forget me, yeah, I know
I smell the roses
[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
I smell the roses
