weglobe - paper roses lyrics

[verse 1]
he sent me paper roses in a gilded vase
with a note that said he loved the smile upon my face
but the ink was barely dry, the petals soft and new
and i knew they’d never make it ’til the morning through
he thinks it’s romantic, this temporary art
but a paper rose can’t ever really mend a paper heart

[chorus]
’cause paper roses, paper promises that blow away
paper words he whispers at thе end of the day
he givеs me paper love, it’s beautiful and cheap
it’s a secret that i’m always, always meant to keep
and i press them in a book where the real ones ought to be
another pretty page in this make+believe history

[verse 2]
we have paper conversations, saying what we should
he says i’m perfect, says i’m perfectly good
we go to paper parties, we dance a paper dance
and i never, ever really have a single chance
to be the girl with dirt beneath her nails and scars
’cause he only wants the version of me behind the glass

[chorus]
’cause paper roses, paper promises that blow away
paper words he whispers at the end of the day
he gives me paper love, it’s beautiful and cheap
it’s a secret that i’m always, always meant to keep
and i press them in a book where the real ones ought to be
another pretty page in this make+believe history
[bridge]
and i remember my grandmother’s garden, wild and overgrown
the th+rns on the roses, the way she’d grumble and groan
as she’d cut them and place them in a simple clay pot
real love’s got roots, honey, whether you like it or not
and sometimes i wonder what she would think of me now
with my paper rose collection and my perfectly painted brow

[final chorus]
oh, these paper roses, paper promises that blow away!
paper words he whispers at the end of the day!
he gives me paper love, it’s beautiful and cheap!
it’s a secret that i’m always, always meant to keep!
and i press them in a book where the real ones ought to be!
another pretty page in this make+believe history!

[outro]
paper roses…
just paper…
