Painted Roses

And so he showed me fantasies
A garden all alone
And what a dream
If only I had seen
They were only walls painted with roses

And so I played, I played along
A thousand songs I wrote
A honeyed voice
Hides the bitter choice
To paint uncertainty with roses

And so we went, we went too far
Talked of promises and dreams
That neither one ever planned to keep
Empty words painted with roses

With fire I played
I didn't see
The harm that can unfold
You lose the sight
To know dark from night
To tell the truth from painted roses
Now I can't see the truth
From painted roses
