Rose Bruno Mars - Apt. -lyrics- 〈QUICK · Fix〉

The chorus, with its repetition of "You can put a rose on a vase," becomes a kind of refrain, a reminder of the speaker's attempts to move on from the relationship. However, the verse that follows, with its lines "Girl, I was meant to be a part of your story / And I know I was a fool to believe" (APT.), reveals the speaker's vulnerability and heartache.
