Lyrics by Petra Deeter

[verse]

Your love, a sparkling illusion

Glimmering like the Macao skyline

But beneath the shimmer, lies and deception

Toxic like a cobra’s venomous strike

I was innocent, a white rose in bloom

Now broken, bleeding from the thorns

Your insecurities, a shadow cast

Projecting darkness, accusing me

When my love was complete

Vulnerable and honest, laid bare for you

[Chorus]

You said you couldn’t live without me

That you could never let me go

Yet, at the end, you chose her

Her, the one you called evil and heartless

Her, who was only supposed to be in your past

Yet, at the end of the day, it’s me you discard

[Verse 2]

The illusion of your love fades

Leaving only the bitter taste of betrayal

The white rose now lies in ruins

Petals scattered, stained with crimson tears

In the silent aftermath I am left to gather the fragments

Of a broken, bleeding rose

In the desolate silence of your absence.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

You told me I was your baby

That you’d always take care of me

Took me to San Diego, to meet your mom

She said she’s never seen you happier

We walked along the beach where your father’s ashes lay

I thought that I was special to you

You swore on your daughter’s life you’d never betray

Yet you did

You may manipulate, make excuses, and justify

But the universe knows the truth

Karma will find you

[Chorus]
