lyrics

Damn white roses and a picket fence
Mama said don’t you paint them red
Cause love isn’t flawless it needs direction
Don’t go chasing this idea of perfection

You told me honey we’ll take it slow cause you want to
But you passed I love you in the dark
Last night you were moving faster
But now the stories changed and I wanna know why

Damn white roses and a picket fence
Mama said don’t you paint them red
Cause love isn’t flawless it needs direction
Don’t go chasing this idea of perfection
If you don’t know, you don’t know
Where where where it’s supposed to go

Don’t be so upset when I ask for your reason
You had me believing this is real
Let me choose you can do what you want to
But Love I want more

My condition is critical
This love has me vertigo
I need a man that’s more than artificial

Damn white roses and a picket fence
Mama said don’t you paint them red
Cause love isn’t flawless it needs direction
Don’t go chasing this idea of perfection
If you don’t know, you don’t know
Where where where it’s supposed to go
 Don’t be so bent there’s no making this easy
So tell me you need me without words
You thought it best to hold what you’re thinking
But I want your love

Damn white roses and a picket fence
Mama said don’t you paint them red
Cause love isn’t flawless it needs direction
Don’t go chasing this idea of perfection
If you don’t know, you don’t know
Where where where it’s supposed to go
