Lyrics:

Chorus

I know in my mind, that im in love you, so please don’t waste my time, watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses, watching dead roses, dead roses, dead roses,

Verse 1

When you say “oh” before okay, thats how i know there’s more to say, tell you i love you but get no reply, somethings been colder bout your ways, an i jus dont get it, pick up your pieces then give me no credit, show all your friends the praise i deserve, guess that you truly as fake as your edits, fuck it i said it, Just cause we’re talking dont mean we’re communicating thats the problem
feelings like autumn, i keep on falling like where is the bottom, an you just keep changing, not sure how all of this love is remaining, If you know me best my scarlet red, then why does it always seem like im explaining, im tired of fighting for once i wanna be fought for, you so inviting everyday im fighting feelings that I hold, I wonder what go through your mind when they say my name to you, is it the same for you? I wonder

Chorus

I know in my mind, that im in love you, so please don’t waste my time, watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses, watching dead roses, dead roses, dead roses,

Verse 2

Why do i feel like sometimes you don’t care? I know my flaws fully aware, but that doesn’t change how I think about you, id give up anything for you i swear, deep in my heart of hearts see that im blue,
Thinkin bout better days laughing with you, how do I say i love you that’ll make your understand how much i do, i love you infinite that mean forever, that means together for worse or better, that mean im always goin stick by your side, through any storm I know we could weather, bitter sweet love don’t prove me wrong, these aint just lyrics its more than song, i aint tryna push none of this on you, but couldn’t imagine my life with you gone,

Chorus

I know in my mind, that im in love you, so please don’t waste my time, watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses, watching dead roses, dead roses, dead roses,

[stephaniegiron]

“Just because we’re talking doesn’t mean we’re communicating” I can definitely relate 💔

[jesus]

Just imagine Ollie/NF singing on a track together ❤ if only

[jays]

"just cause we're talking don't mean we're communicating."

I felt that..

[christopherridge]

“I’m tired of fighting, I want to be fought for” that hit me real hard...

[tohxjej]

Lyrics:
[Chorus]
I know in my mind that I'm in love with you
Please don't waste my time
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses

[Verse 1]
When you say "oh" before "okay"
That's how I know there's more to say
Tell you I love you but get no reply
Something's been cold about your ways
And I just don't get it
Pick up your pieces then give me no credit
Show all your friends the praise I deserve
Guess that you're truly as fake as your edits
Fuck it, I said it
Just 'cause we're talking don't mean we're communicating
That's the problem
Feelings like autumn
I keep falling like where is the bottom
And you just keep changin'
Not sure how all of this love is remainin'
If you know me best, my scarlet my red
Then why does it feel like i'm always explainin'
See I'm tired of fighting for once I want to be fought for
You're so invitin' every day i'm fighting feelings that I hold
I wonder what goes through your mind when they say my name to you
Is it the same for you?
I wonder

[Chorus]
I know in my mind that I'm in love with you
Please don't waste my time
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses

[Verse 2]
Why do I feel like sometimes you don't care?
I know my flaws, fully aware
But that doesn't change how I think about you
I'd give up anything for you I swear
Deep in my heart I fought, see that i'm blue
Thinking about better days, laughing with you
How do I say "I love you" that'll make you understand how much I do
I love you infinite
That mean forever
That means together for worse and for better
That means I'm always gon' stick by your side
Through any storm I know we can weather
Bittersweet love, don't prove me wrong
These ain't just lyrics, it's more than a song
I ain't tryna push none of this on you
But couldn't imagine my life with you gone

[Chorus]
I know in my mind that I'm in love with you
Please don't waste my time
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses, dead roses, dead roses
Watering dead roses

MUST READ!!!

Okay so I’m pretty high Rn, but I’ve been listening to Ollie for a few years now and listening to the first 60 seconds of this tune, and being a fellow producer I can honestly say that he has been on the grind for years and to get to a level to where he is Right now takes not only talent but hard Fkn work and skill. After years of dealing with mental health issues and everything that life has thrown at me, I can say that I am finally at a place of clarity in my life, I am deciding to move out, quit university and move in with my mates and make music everyday. I finally can say that I love myself and believe in my potential. I know life is hard, I know people use music to cope with life and All I want in life is to help people cope with whatever they are going through. And although I haven’t released any music yet, I know one day that my creativity and music will help someone get through whatever they are going through and I hope to have a headlining concert with my name and whoever vibes with me can vibe and be fans whatever. That is all I want. Whoever is reading this I hope that you find what you are looking for ❤️ Kindest regards, DAMO 🖤

[DonnyJ]

I kinda don't want the world to know about him. I feel special listening to his music!!

[Beautyinthebreakdown.]

Literally discovered Ollie 10 mins ago.. and honestly I’m obsessed.. he gets it.. criminally underrated. Wow 🔥🔥🔥

[staci_rayne]

"I'm tired of fighting, for once I wanna be fought for" hits hard😔

[protob.]

People should probably change “I don’t want the world to know about him/her” to “I don’t want the fame to change him”. I get it, cool, but if y’all like him why not wish him that version of success if that what he wants. I’m sure he wants people to hear him. I agree though, I wish he’d stay this real too... but people need this.

[billinsgames]

Something about this guy is special. The rap is as good as the singing, and both are fantastic. Deep lyrics that give you a new/deeper idea each time you listen. Good ass song.

[Danlo-sgle]

This is amazing i just found this guy and ive binged listened his music, amazing artist, blow up please, u deserve so much more man. good luck to you

[christopherleon]

Ollie! And Phora! Coldsteeze! So underrated AF!!! Real ones at that.

[Mike]

These tracks you make always capture this sense of nostalgia, a sense of belonging, being able to relate, your lyrics always stay true and your emotions, your story really does shine through !

You genuinely deserve to make it big one day and i am glad we're part of your journey Ollie, keep up the amazing work !

[PENETRATEONTIME]

To everyone who feels the same pain like me while hearing this - I hope everything turns out well for you and if not, than remember three things.

1. Try to not become a slave of your feelings and don‘t let him/her control them.

2. Don‘t lie to yourself - Love is powerful but more important - it should give you warm and not harm. Use your brain to think and your heart to feel, you‘ll get an answer that might hurt you and your expectations - but it also gives clarity.

3. If everything has gone quite well so far and she or him doesn‘t reply to your messages, signals ect. like before - try to rest and calm down. For me it‘s the hardest part to do literally nothing but spend my time waiting. But in the End I know that it‘s worthless to force anything which doesn‘t come from her side and by herself.

You all are wonderful and worth to be loved, always remember that !

[gissellesorrow]

Ollie, you wrote how I'm feeling right now. 🥺😔🥀

I like him so much and at first we would talk a lot and hangout. Now I feel something changed, it's the opposite. 😔

[austinwallace]

Not many songs can make a person shed a tear, but songs like this sometimes rise to the occasion and are just so poetic that it hits the heart in just the right way in which a person can’t can’t help but feel it in their soul.

[t_rm]

Hurts when the person you're in love with doesn't really care about you🙂

[kriworld]

You’re not alone Ollie. Thank you so much for being brave and speaking out in your music. You’ve helped me immensely by helping me not feel alone. That I’m not the only one suffering through situations like this. I truly believe that these situations are way more common than what we tell ourselves, and that, I think is leading us into a pool of mental health problems.
