Roses (Official Lyric Video) - Mae Estes

Song written by Mae Estes, Autumn McEntire, Eric Wikman. Song produced by Jared Conrad and Autumn McEntire. Video created by Ty Boyd. Photography by Chad Crawford. HMU by Marti Dodson.
Got a counter full of long stems that never seem to die
My favorite’s the pale pink but I’ll settle for white
Lucky me I’m drowning in Valentines
At least once a week, you’ve got a dozen in hand
Doing what you think makes you a good man
And I’ll flash that fake smile once again
Cause there's one for sneaking in too late at night
One for when sorry wouldn’t make it right
A ribbon tied around your mistakes in a pretty vase,
and we both know it
But we’ll just call ‘em roses
They’ll be yellow when you’re coming from the bar cross town
That lipstick red we don’t talk about
I’m waiting on a bouquet that comes without
One for every white lie that’s left your lips
One for every broken promise I forgive
A ribbon tied around your mistakes in a pretty vase,
and we both know it
But we’ll just call ‘em roses
Don’t know why you and I
Can’t start over when the flowers die
All I need is for you to see they don’t mean nothing to me
When there’s
One for that ring burning on your hand
One for every wilted second chance
A ribbon tied around your mistakes in a pretty vase,
We don’t show it
So we’ll just call ‘em roses

I love your music. You have great talent and should definitely win a CMA award. You have changed country music for the better.

[@MaeEstes]

Thanks for saying that, Dillon! I've got the utmost respect for country music

[@malthenielsen9389]

I had this song number 2 of my favorite country songs of 2021. Excellent song! What I appreciate the most with this, is the chorus. How it’s built around a concept of flowers counting what this guy did wrong. It’s very, very cleverly done. We also can’t around the very thick drum in the verses and the steel throughout the chorus, especially at the end of every.

[@MaeEstes]

Thanks so much for listening!
