"I Wish You Roses" appears to be a song about letting go of a past love while wishing them well. In the chorus, the singer expresses that she never thought she would be without her former lover, but even so, she wishes them love, wellness, and roses while they can still smell them. The lyrics seem to acknowledge the transience of life and the importance of living in the moment before it's too late. The line "With pretty flowers can come the bee sting" suggests that with good things in life can come difficulties or pain.
In the verse, the singer compares herself to a rose in a garden of weeds, emphasizing her uniqueness and beauty. She encourages her former love not to be afraid of getting pricked by the thorns, which could represent the challenges or difficulties they may face in life. The singer also notes that if they should someday drift apart, she will give them her blessings, which could be interpreted as her good wishes for their future happiness.
The refrain of the song repeats the line "I wish you roses", emphasizing the singer's desire to wish her former love well and to offer them beauty and joy in life.
The outro of the song seems to suggest that while the singer's former lover may want her back, they both know that it's not possible to go back to the past. Instead, the song encourages them both to move forward with their lives while still cherishing the good memories they shared.
