[Jorja Smith, Ibeyi - Lavender and Red Roses lyrics]
Don't say
I never warned you
Don't
Don't say
I never warned you
Don't
Don't say
I never warned you
Don't
Late at night, devil's eyes
Inner life and inner lies
Is it fate? Is it late?
It's hard to look at you
With so much pain
We connect with open hearts, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
I've welcomed you with open arms, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
Lavеnder and red roses, yеah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
You still walk towards the dark
You reveal, your scars heal
Analysing how you feel
Your mistakes, run away
Can't you hear me? Is this promise real?
We connect with open hearts, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
I've welcomed you with open arms, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
But you still walk towards the dark
Lavender and red roses, yeah (The dark)
Lavender and red roses, yeah (The dark)
Lavender and red roses
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
I never warned you
Don't
Don't say
I never warned you
Don't
Don't say
I never warned you
Don't
Late at night, devil's eyes
Inner life and inner lies
Is it fate? Is it late?
It's hard to look at you
With so much pain
We connect with open hearts, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
I've welcomed you with open arms, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
Lavender and red roses, yeah

About the song Jorja Smith, Ibeyi - Lavender and Red Roses
This song is about wanting to help someone but realising you can’t save them. You can’t be pulled into their darkness. You have to protect yourself and allow them to find their own strength and light, their own way. (c) Ibeyi
"Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos are sisters, one of them creates the thread of fate, the other analyses it, and the third one cuts it. “Lavender and Red Roses” is a song about the feeling we all experience when we love someone troubled. It could be a partner, a sibling, a parent, a friend. We wanted to talk about the pain of witnessing a loved one hurting, repeating patterns and getting lost. And how it triggers in us the desire to reach them, hold them tight and wash their troubles away with lavender and red roses. But the truth is you can’t save them, if they pull you into their darkness, you will have to protect yourself, and allow them to find their own strength and light, their own way."
