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 kindness that you remind me of
Paper roses Paper roses Oh, how real those roses seemed 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 thats' made of paper There isn't any sweetness in your heart
Paper roses Paper roses Oh, how real those roses seemed to be But they're only imitation Like your imitation love for me
