I realize the way your eyes deceived me

"Paper roses"

I realize the way
Your eyes deceived me
With tender looks
That I mistook for love
So take away the flowers
That you gave me
And send the kind
That you remind me of

Paper roses
Paper roses
Oh how real
Those roses seem to be
But they're only
Imitation
Like your imitation
Love for me

I thought that you
Would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full
Of sweetness at the start
But like a big red rose
That's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness
In your heart

Paper roses
Paper roses
Oh how real
Those roses seem to be
But they're only
Imitation
Like your imitation
Love for me

F. Spielman - J. Torre
