Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Way 100 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 fucking up your speech
So baby, tell me where you
Were, I'm sick and tired
I know you saw me calling
For a while now
Feels so confused when you say that
You don't need me, oh, woah
It's only you that's making
You wanna leave me, oh
Where is this trust? I lost it, when
You let 'em fuck, yeah, you did, yup
Said girl, I lost it, lost it
How could you give it up?
I'm not going down with your love
I gave it my all but it's never enough
(it's never enough)
Behind the roses, got your hand on the gun
I won't be the one going down with your love
(down with your love)
I'm not going down, down, down
Down, down, down
I'm not going down, down, down
With your love
It's a cold place, doesn't even matter
It never did do anyway
(it never did do anyway)
Turned an eye so blind, you stood there
While I dug myself a grave
Threw my heart inside, you didn't do a thing
I'm not going down with your love
I gave it my all but it's never enough
(it's never enough)
Behind the roses, got your hand on the gun
I won't be the one going down with your love
(down with your love)
I'm not going down, down, down
Down, down, down
I'm not going down, down, down
With your love
Ooh, ooh, girl, yeah
You be on that other shit
(but it's never enough)
Ooh, ooh, you be on that other shit
I'm not going down with your love
I gave it my all but it's never enough
(it's never enough)
Behind the roses, got your hand on the gun
I won't be the one going down with your love
(down with your love)
I'm not going down, down, down
Down, down, down
I'm not going down, down, down
With your love
I'm not going down, down, down
Down, down, down
I'm not going down, down, down
With your love
The lyrics of "Blue Roses" by Chris Brown ft. Ariana Grande touch on themes of mistrust, heartbreak, and the realization that a relationship has come to an end. The song begins with the singer challenging their partner to be completely honest and transparent with them, acknowledging their own fear and vulnerability in the process. It is evident that there is something that the partner wants to confess, as they are stumbling over their words and avoiding the conversation. The singer, feeling tired and worn out, demands to know where the partner has been, implying that the relationship has been falling apart for some time now.
The chorus expresses the confusion and hurt that the singer feels when the partner claims not to need them anymore, questioning the trust that has been lost. The singer references the partner sleeping with someone else, signifying the betrayal that has taken place. They admit to losing themselves in the process, unable to understand how the partner could give up on their love.
The second verse introduces a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer describes the relationship as a cold, loveless place where they were left to dig their own grave. They acknowledge that they threw their heart into the relationship, but the partner did nothing in return, amplifying the feeling of being used and discarded.
The final chorus reiterates the singer's determination to not be dragged down by the partner's love anymore. They reflect on the partner's tendency to be on "that other shit," suggesting that their actions and behavior have caused significant damage to the relationship. The repetition of the line "I'm not going down, down, down with your love" emphasizes the singer's unwillingness to let themselves be hurt any longer.
Overall, "Blue Roses" explores the pain of a failed relationship, the loss of trust, and the desire to break free from a toxic situation characterized by betrayal and emotional detachment.

You turned a blind eye and remained passive as I destroyed myself emotionally
Threw my heart inside, you didn't do a thing
I poured my heart out to you, but you didn't respond or take any action
Ooh, ooh, girl, yeah You be on that other shit
Oh, girl, you're engaged in deceptive behavior or have ulterior motives

I refuse to be dragged down by your love. I've given my best, but it's always insufficient. Despite your hidden intentions, I won't be the one who suffers from the consequences of our relationship. I won't be discouraged or defeated by your love.
