[Verse 1]
Rose petals on the ground
They're all turning brown
Dried up in my room
I think I'd rather leave
Than watch the colors bleed
Maybe that's just me

[Chorus]
Now I sit here blowing kisses
Knowing that there's growing distance
Every time I try to breathe
Wipe my tears inside my letters
Hoping that she's doing better
Better without me
And I don't want to, but I have to
Shut the door and not look back through
The curtains that we closed, oh
Trying to write another chapter
Through the heartbreak and the laughter
It's helping, I suppose

[Verse 2]
Rose petals on the ground
Where is she right now?
I hope somewhere nice
Fading down in Echo Park
Until it gets dark
Just staring at the sky
[Chorus]
Now I sit here blowing kisses
Knowing that there's growing distance
Every time I try to breathe, mmm (I try to breathe)
Wipe my tears inside my letters
Hoping that she's doing better
Better without me (Without me, without me)
And I don't want to, but I have to
Shut the door and not look back through
The curtains that we closed (The curtains that we closed)
I'm trying to write another chapter
Through the heartbreak and the laughter
It's helping, I suppose

[Outro]
If there's rose petals on the ground
I hope when she looks down
There's a smile on her face
