[Chorus]

I smell the roses

Late in the mornin'

It's all that you left me

Soon to forget me, yeah, I know

I'm at my lowest

Downward and lonely

That's how you left me

Soon to forget me, yeah, I know

I smell the ro—

[Verse 1]

Test my strength in the morning (In the morning)

Just like getting up out of bed

Ooh, I'd rather just lay here (Just lay here)

On the lies that I tell instead

You don't call, but you need me (Need me)

There's that lie that I tell myself

When I think that I miss you (Miss you)

Ooh, it hurts when I'm by myself

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I'd be better alone

Instead of together

With someone who makes it feel like

The rain is gon' last forever

'Cause, baby, I ain't waterproof

Wearin' down at the thought of you

Tell me what the fuck am I to do

[Chorus]

I smell the roses

Late in the mornin' (Late in the mornin')

It's all that you left me (All that you left)

Soon to forget me, yeah, I know

I'm at my lowest

Downward and lonely

That's how you left me (That's how you left me)

Soon to forget me, yeah, I know

I smell the ro—

[Verse 2]

Losin' my lady

Girl, you be drivin' me crazy

I been thinkin' 'bout you lately

'Member you used to hate me?

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I'd be better alone

Instead of together

With someone who makes it feel like

The rain is gon' last forever

'Cause, baby, I ain't waterproof

Wearin' down at the thought of you

Tell me what the fuck am I to do

[Chorus]

I smell the roses

Late in the mornin' (Late in the mornin')

It's all that you left me (It's all that you left)

Soon to forget me, yeah, I know

I'm at my lowest

Downward and lonely

That's how you left me (That's how you left me)

Soon to forget me, yeah, I know

I smell the roses

[Outro]

Ooh

Ooh

I smell the roses
