Roses
J.U.D. Lyrics

See today
Today I am feeling a certain way and I want to express that.

I'm havin' one of
A certain type of day where I just don't feel like being around people.

Them days were
Those types of days that come around every once in a while.

I just don't
I do not have the energy or desire to socialize.

Wanna be bothered
I want to be left alone and not have anyone disturb me.

But it seems like
Unfortunately, people do not understand this.

You can't understand that
It feels like nobody comprehends that I need space.

Because it's your way
People's behavior does not change according to my needs.

Or no way
They do things their own way, regardless of my wishes.

But check this out
Listen to what I have to say.

It's my way today
Today, things will be done my way.

And I'm really, really
I feel very strongly

Sick and tired
I am fed up with this.

Of you steppin' into
I am irritated by your presence.

My little box
I feel like people are encroaching on my personal space.

When I just don't wanna be bothered, OK?
I want to communicate that I need to be left alone.

So check this out
I need to talk to you about it.

I've had my way
I have had my life experiences.

And I've had my share
I have gone through a lot.

Of ups and down
I have experienced highs and lows.

I've been in trouble
I have faced difficulties.

And I couldn't tell
It was hard for me to differentiate.

My ups from downs
It was difficult to differentiate between good and bad moments.

I've been your baby
I have been in a relationship with you.

And I don't know why
I am not sure why I am in this relationship anymore.

It don't seem like
It seems like something is off.

That no more
It feels like our relationship has changed.

Welcome to
This is the new reality for us.

This new definition
The new way we experience and view love.

Of love
is different from what we were used to.

[Chorus]
This is the chorus of the song.

It ain't all roses
Love is not always easy and happy.

Hey
An exclamation to draw attention to the lyrics.

Flowers and posin'
Love is not just a surface level experience.

Said it ain't all candy
Love is not always sweet and delicious.

This love stuff
The experience of loving someone.

Is demanding
It requires a lot of work and energy.

Sometimes I need a hug
I need physical affection sometimes.

See, you, you just
You are someone who always

You just wanna
You always want to

Really, really, really push
Really force

All my buttons
Push all my emotional triggers.

'Cause you
Since you are

Mr. Right
Someone who always thinks he is correct and wants to be in charge.

And I'm Misses Wrong
I am always wrong in your eyes.

But right now today
But today, I am trying to prove you wrong.

I feel like
I believe that today, I am right.

I'm-I'm the one
In this situation, I am the correct one.

Gon' sing this song
I will express my feelings through this song.

I'm a be Misses Right today
I will prove that today, I am the one who is right.

It's my way or the highway
Today, I am determining how things will be.

But with you
However, when you are involved

It's just no, gettin' around that
It is impossible to do things my way.

I gotta be bumpin' heads
We always end up disagreeing.

What's up with that?
Why does it always seem to happen?

Listen, see
Pay attention to what I am about to say.

I love my man
I care about my partner.

And I know my place
I understand my role in this relationship.

I know my worth
I value myself.

And I just can't stand
And I cannot tolerate

To see myself
To understand that I have become

As I hurt
Someone who is in pain.

It's been a long time
This has been going on for a while now.

And I think that
I believe that I deserve more from this relationship.

I can get a little
It is reasonable for me to feel a little

More love
More affection and care.

From you
From my partner.

I know some of y'all
I know other people experience the same thing.

Go through it to 'cause
They also feel worn-down due to this relationship.

Sometimes I just wish
At times, I only want

You just put
For you to simply place

Your arms around me
Your arms around me.

When I'm feelin' so
When I am experiencing an overwhelming amount of

Sp, so very needy
Neediness and dependency.

But instead you just turn your back
However, you seem to lack the ability to give me affection.

And say, "Suck it up! "
You just tell me to deal with it.

Oh, you don't know how I'm feelin' right now
You have no idea how I am feeling in this moment.

If you knew how I feel
If you could understand my current emotions

On the inside
How I am feeling emotionally inside myself.

You wouldn't say suck it up
You would not dismiss my feelings so easily.

Now what the fuck?
What kind of reaction do you expect from me after that response?

'Cause'
Because

[Chorus]
This is the chorus of the song.

It ain't all roses
Love is not always easy and happy.

Hey
An exclamation to draw attention to the lyrics.

Flowers and posin'
Love is not just a surface level experience.

Said it ain't all candy
Love is not always sweet and delicious.

This love stuff
The experience of loving someone.

Is demanding
It requires a lot of work and energy.
