Roses
James Arthur & Emeli Sande Lyrics

I could've chose anybody but I chose you
Despite having other options, I chose you.

Help me get better, you pull me right out of the blue
You improve my life and lift me out of difficult situations.

And daddy don't like you, but daddy and I never speak
My father disapproves of you, but it doesn't matter because we don't have a relationship.

Every night when I wake up I need you to get back to sleep
You are a constant presence in my life and I rely on you for comfort.

Smells like roses to me
Being with you feels like a sweet and pleasant experience.

Two young lovers at sea
We are young and in love, and it feels like we are navigating uncharted waters together.

Tastes so bitter, so sweet
Our love is complex and has both good and bad aspects.

You're my bang, together we go bang bang bang
We have a powerful connection and make a big impact on each other's lives.

You could've chose anybody but you chose me
I am grateful that you chose to be with me, despite other options.

Hiding in bedsits cause no one around us agrees
We feel the need to hide our relationship because others don't approve of it.

And I feel romantic cause since morning I've been at the wine
I feel deeply in love with you, possibly due to consuming alcohol.

Shall we eat all the poison and leave all the questions behind
Let's ignore the potential negative consequences of our relationship and focus on the positive aspects for now.

And all the chemicals and alcohol make for a volatile love
Our love may be unstable due to substance use.

But stay with me
Despite the potential difficulties, I want you to stay with me.

And I never wanna lose you but I feel that this closeness will tear us apart
I am afraid of losing you, but the intensity of our relationship may cause problems.

Bang, bang, bang [x4]
Our love is powerful and impactful, like an explosion.
