Liar's Roses

(album: Next To You - 1989)

The doorbell rings it's flowers for me
Roses again, it's the third time this week
What kind of fool must he picture me to be
To be blinded by a dozen liar's roses

Guilt-stained words on beautiful cards
But not a single one that comes from the heart
He's seeing her again cause that's when he starts
Sending me these lovely liar's roses

Oh, I'm sleeping in a bed of liar's roses
While he dreams of somebody else
He lies to me and thinks that I don't know it
But we're sleeping in a bed of liar's roses

Why do I stay I don't know
I guess it's easier than letting him go
I do the best I can to not let it show
What am I gonna do with all these roses

Oh, I'm sleeping in a bed of liar's roses
While he dreams of somebody else
He lies to me and thinks that I don't know it
But we're sleeping in a bed of liar's roses
