Black Dahlia Lyrics - Angel Haze

You should write a song where the concept is... 

You're basically writing like a love letter, or like a piece of advice 

To your mother, when she was your age 

I don't know 

Maybe I would write you a happy ending 

I would rearrange the pieces to your sad beginning 

I would put you far away from the decaying roots that bore you 

And let you experience all the ways that happiness could bloom before you 

Or maybe I'm naïve... 

Maybe I'm just a kid who thought that if she could plant a seed 

It would somehow grow inside you

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Spent so much of my time wishing you were different 

But reality is that, where life could never be provisioned 

But if I could wish for one thing, I'd go back and I'd fix it 

I'd tackle all your obstacles and kill them with precision 

And better the intentions of every single person 

Who play a part in you learning exactly what your worth is 

I'd shower you with purpose, I'd wipe hate off the surface 

I'd reshape all your pain and make it fucking worth it 

No more feeling worthless, no more fucking searching 

No more of that fraud shit, nobody else could hurt you 

Yeah, said nobody else could hurt you 

And if they ever tried too I'd wipe 'em from the Earth too 

Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I know that you tired too 

I know that you been running from everything that's behind you 

I know that you've been burying everything deep inside you 

I can see it killing you, wish that I could revive you 

But I'm stuck sitting in this time frame 

Struggling with my demons and playing these stupid mind game 

One day it could get better, maybe it could get better 

Maybe we could change shit, no more inclement weather 

Know you hated your mom, know it went through your mind 

You were just like me, wish that you had more time 

To see life from a different angle, wrestle with a different angel 

Wouldn't lose your wings and fall from heaven like a cliffhanger 

Photos 

Everything is different now, nothing is the same 

And nowadays I swear it feels like you don't know my name 

But I look at the mirror and I see you every day 

I'm you in every way, every hue and every shade 

And maybe you should know, it's the last thing that I wanted 

Cuz what I hate about you makes me feel like I'm haunted 

And I don't wanna spend the rest of my time on the run and- 

So I'm just gonna confront it, yeah I'm just gonna confront it 

And tell you that I love you for everything you made me 

And that you need to hear this even if it makes you angry 

God lives inside you, you've already found him 

The Devil lives in memories and you just let him hound you 

And I despise the church for everything that they taught you 

It's just a fucking stain that I wish I could wipe off you 

That I wish I could wipe off you 

And I forgive you for doing everything that it cost you 

Everything that it cost you 

Fame is such a heavy price I wish it didn't cost you 

Losing a part of me that would follow you to Hell 

Follow you to hatred, or follow you to jail 

Followed you to patterns that I could never get out of 

Now I realize that I could never make it with that love 

Now I realize that shit is the alternative outcome 

Never wanted you to save me, I just wish I count some 

I just wish that you grew up with someone you could count on 

I just wish you knew that you could never make it without love 

For your goddamn self, and that you never ever find it in anybody else 

Cuz I would help you find you 

And if I saw it killing you I swear I would revive you 

And if that meant the end of me 

I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy end and peace 

Because, you are such a special thing 

You're not just my mom, but you're the reason I exist 

And the best life that you could've had for yourself without making a mistake 

Would have meant I woulda had a nicer childhood 

And even though my childhood wasn't perfect and I still love you 

I just want you to know that if I could go back do one thing for you 

I would be one person for you 

I would make sure, not just for my sake, but so that you could've had a nicer life 

And a nicer childhood, that you know 

You would not have made the mistakes that put us all in this bad situation 

And not have the stress to leave 

But just so that you would have been happier and stronger 

Even if I didn't exist, even it meant that I was never born 

That's what I would have wanted for you 

Yeah, and if that meant the end of me 

I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending 

Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I know that you tired too 

I know you've been running from everything that's behind you 

I know that you've been burying everything deep inside you 

I can see it killing you, wish that I could revive you 

And if that meant the end of me 

I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending 

And if that meant the end of me 

I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending 

And if that meant the end of me 

I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending 

I don't know 

Maybe I would write you a happy ending 

I would rearrange the pieces to your sad beginning 

I would put you far away from the decaying roots that bore you 

And let you experience all the ways that happiness could bloom before you 

Or maybe I'm naïve... 

Maybe I'm just a kid who thought that if she could plant a seed 

It would somehow grow inside you 

And that I could hide you from the rain 

So that it could be easier for happiness to find you 

Or maybe I'm still a kid who's caught in a dream 

I'm the heir to the throne of a princess who's still trying to be queen 

Or maybe we're all just caught in the winds of a massacre 

The blackened leaves of dying, black dahlias
