Intro:
Man it's crazy thinking...
When you thought you knew what love was
And you were willing to settle for that, or nothing at all
Just because, it wasn't even really love
But when you actually find it, it's more of a mutual understand that you can't explain
And I can't explain it but-

Verse 1:
My neighborhood is running out of roses
I done picked them all for you
And all of my fears and my doubts
Wilt away when with you
Only with you
With you
With you
We both got some growing to do
Just so blessed I'm growing with you
Growing with you
Lord knows I got growing to do
Just so blessed I'm growing with you
Girl let me grow with you
Grow with you
Only you
Girl you're my sunshine
And my rain
(You're my sunshine & my rain)
Your pain is my pain, you're my everything
You're my everything
You are everything
Verse 2:
As the street light peeks through the blinds
And you're asleep I see peace on your mind
When you breathe on my cheek I feel like
I feel life
I've finally seen the other side that you hide so well, time sure tells:
Time flies, but counting time is for the birds
But often times, time is the only thing that tells what I can't put into words
So trying to put your inward beauty in words-
Beauty ain't the word
Nah it's so much more than that
But Im'ma keep on searching
You know it's worth it when we both feel we don't deserve it
And just because something needs work, don't mean it's not perfect
You know how God works it, you helped me find my lost purpose when I felt worthless
'Cause I love you more than I love myself
But through loving you, I learned how to love myself
And I know it sounds crazy but I think I finally understand how God can still love me, someone so imperfect & broken 'cause love is intrinsic, it's above all else
'Cause love is crying in the bathtub with our clothes on
And I ain't done trying, as the sun rises, while it's cold out
But somehow it's not reassuring knowing how
Death is the only one that can take you from me
Cause I know you think of him often

Just let me run my fingers through your hair
Don't runaway, just let me hold you, yeah we're both scared
And I'm never running low on empathy, we've been on the same wavelength since day one, but what you've been through is just not fair
Because I see a rose that's forgotten it's a rose
Forgotten it's true beauty 'cause all it knows is being picked and mistreated and tossed away
And all I am is a glass of water, just hoping I have what you need
I ask for you to join inside of me and stay
Please just stay
Cause I never knew what love really was
Till I found it waiting inside you
Till I found it waiting inside you
Till i found it waiting because
I never knew what love really was
Till I found it
Waiting
In you
But they say nothing last forever
What makes love the exception?
Nothing lasts forever
What makes love the exception?

I don't know, but
All I know is God is love
And love is eternal
Love is not something we can create, but
Rather something we find
And I know I found it
I also know
That my neighbors are getting pretty upset because I don't have enough money to be buying you roses every time I see you so, I've been stealing them from my neighbors' garden, and they're starting to notice
I feel kinda bad about it but, I'm not gonna stop, because...
Happy birthday
