lyrics
Roses, roses
Cast to the wind
Prospects dance in shadows
And fan the flame within
But a fantasy can shade the sun
That lights the face you see
Desire paints a picture
Of what your life could be
With someone who fits the mold
And you think that one is me
But a fantasy can shade the sun
That lights the face you see
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit
That my heart had filled in some spaces
And it tricked my vision into seeing
Rosy, painted pretty faces
Now I can’t help but feel I’ll never be
The ideal of your infatuation
Sometimes hope feeds self-deception
And I don’t know how to feel
When you compliment the thing about me
That I know just isn’t real
Girl a fantasy can shade the sun
That lights the face you see
