Plastic Roses

[Verse 1]

He's got a way with words

So I got away from him

He's got ocean blue eyes

And I just realized I can't swim

He's got a spell he casts

With the way he laughs

Something his smile does

That I'd believe in fact that the world was flat

If he smiled when he said it was

Every lie so pretty

Don't you dare fall for it

That's what I tell myself as I lie here on the floor

[Chorus]

So here I am, once again

Trying to smell the scent of plastic roses

Roses

See as good as it feels

I know your love is no more real

Than plastic roses, than the roses

Roses

[Verse 2]

Ignorance is bliss

But see I know it's a lie

Which in lies a problem with this

Is it wrong to pretend

I don't know that the truth exists

Can I make believe

I'm a fool just long enough

For one last kiss

[Pre-Chorus]

Every lie so pretty

Don't you dare fall for it

That's what I tell myself as I lie here on the floor

[Chorus]

So here I am, once again

Trying to smell the scent of plastic roses

Roses

See as good as it feels

I know your love is no more real

Than plastic roses, than the roses

Roses

[Bridge]

Willingly the fool

'Cause you can only do to me what I let you

Oh, so beautiful, this bouquet of deceits

But to me the roses never smelled so sweet

Smelled so sweet never smelled so sweet

Yeah

[Chorus]

So here I am, once again

Trying to smell the scent of plastic roses

Roses

See as good as it feels

I know your love is no more real

Than plastic roses, than the roses

Roses
