Lyrics Paper Roses - Susan McCann

I realise the way your eyes deceive 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 me
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me

I thought that you would be the perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
Just 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 me
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me
