He's got a way with the 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
And I believe in fact
That the world was flat
If he smiled when he said it was
Every lie's so pretty
Don't you dare fall for it
That's what I tell myself
As I lie here on the floor
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
Ignorance is bliss
But see I know it's a lie
Which in lies the 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
Every lie's so pretty
Don't you dare fall for it
That's what I tell myself
As I lie here on the floor
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
Willingly the fool
Cause you can only do to me what I let you
Oh so beautiful this bouquet of deceit
But to me the roses never smelled so sweet
Smelled so sweet
Never smelled so sweet
Yeah
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
