Petals Back on the Rose
Reviving Love: Petals, Thorn, and Redemption
Lyrics
These days when we say goodnight
Reflecting on the current state of their relationship, particularly the challenges faced during bedtime.
We're lying facing our own side
Describing a sense of emotional distance, lying separately while contemplating their connection.
Wondering if we're in the right bed.
Questioning the appropriateness of their shared bed, indicating a potential strain in the relationship.
We've gotten used to all the fighting
Admitting familiarity with frequent conflicts in their relationship.
I walk out, you start crying
Highlighting a pattern where leaving leads to emotional distress, expressing mutual confusion about their arguments.
And neither one of us knows what we said.
Emphasizing a lack of clarity in communication during disagreements.
But all that's gonna change from right now on
Declaring an intent to bring about positive change in the relationship.
I won't give up until we're back in love.
Committing to persistent effort until love is restored.
Can we put the petals back on the rose?

It's been you and me and this stem of thorns from a long time of lows.
Acknowledging a history of challenges and difficulties in their relationship.
Sadness and frustration.

Sometimes that's how it goes.
Recognizing that challenges are a natural part of relationships.
But baby tonight I start to put the petals back on the rose.
Expressing a commitment to begin the process of healing and renewal.
I haven't been the man I promised I'd be
Admitting to falling short of the promises made in the relationship.
To fight for us and not for me
Expressing a realization of not prioritizing the relationship over personal interests.
Every choice I made pushed you away
Regretting choices that have contributed to emotional distance.
And I don't wanna let you go
Expressing a reluctance to let go of the relationship.
Because I didn't do all I know
Recognizing a failure to bring happiness to the partner and a desire for reconciliation.
To make you happy once again and stay, stay, stay

And all that's gonna change from right now on
Reiterating the commitment to positive change.
I won't give up until you're back in love.

Can we put the petals back on the rose?

I realize it takes more than just wanting it
Recognizing that restoring the relationship requires more than a mere desire.
But with a little work we don't have to quit
Believing that with effort, the relationship can overcome challenges.
Baby please, please.
Pleading for the partner's assistance in overcoming difficulties.
Help me lift us out and put the petals back on the rose.
