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 
Like your imitation love for me
