Gave you the lotus, now you’re rocking the boat,
Our love filled with arguments, but damn, we had hope.
Planted the seed, I handed you the oak,
Our love was dope, now it’s guns, roses and smoke.

Feeling like Shakespeare, writing rhymes for my queen,
But you upped and left, now I'm lost in this scene.
Grieving like a motherfucker, heart torn at the seam,
You took flight to South America, living a dream.

Reaching out seems futile, trying to defuse time,
Can we rewind the clock, make our night sublime?
Couple shots of bourbon, reminiscing the highs,
But baby, that evening, I saw the pain in your eyes.

Gave you the lotus, now you’re rocking the boat,
Arguments swirling, our love's a tightrope.
You cried, I died, tryna find what's right,
But you're the one leaving, while I'm losing this fight.

Queen of thieves, you stole my damn heart,
Barely breathing, this was supposed to be art.
But now we're apart, trapped in this tragedy,
No casualties, but damn, the pain’s a reality.

Sending my regards, rose in a vase,
Feeling like I'm on Mars, while you’re lost in space.
Thought we were genius, but we’re both wrong,
It was doomed from the start, our love was too strong.

Gave you the lotus, now you’re rocking the boat,
Our love, once fire, now it's drowning in smoke.
What happened to us? We were stars in the night,
Now I'm here mourning, while you’re taking flight.

Take care, but damn, no morning light,
You called it boring, but I'm feeling the fright.
Good morning, I’m mourning, while you’re snoring,
Lost in this heartbreak, my soul is exploring.

Gave you the lotus, now you’re rocking the boat,
Our love filled with arguments, but damn, we had hope.
Planted the seed, I handed you the oak,
Our love was dope, now it’s guns, roses and smoke.

Feeling like Shakespeare, writing rhymes for my queen,
But you upped and left, now I'm lost in this scene.
Grieving like a motherfucker, heart torn at the seam,
You took flight to South America, living a dream.

Reaching out seems futile, trying to defuse time,
Can we rewind the clock, make our night sublime?
Couple shots of bourbon, reminiscing the highs,
But baby, that evening, I saw the pain in your eyes.

Gave you the lotus, now you’re rocking the boat,
Arguments swirling, our love's a tightrope.
You cried, I died, tryna find what's right,
But you're the one leaving, while I'm losing this fight.

Queen of thieves, you stole my damn heart,
Barely breathing, this was supposed to be art.
But now we're apart, trapped in this tragedy,
No casualties, but damn, the pain’s a reality.

Sending my regards, rose in a vase,
Feeling like I'm on Mars, while you’re lost in space.
Thought we were genius, but we’re both wrong,
It was doomed from the start, our love was too strong.
