"Mirrors & Smoke" lyrics

[Dan Haseltine:]
I'm feeling older than my years
I'm feeling pain inside my chest
It's love that keeps me silent
It's my silence you detest
Rivers flow into the oceans
And oceans never fill
I want to kiss your lips
But I know I never will

Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke
My love will keep you wishing
And my heart will keep me broke

[Dan Haseltine:]
I bring you flowers
Give you candy to even out the guilt
I send you greeting cards
With messages that I could never write
Rivers flow into the oceans
And oceans never fill
I want to let you know me
But I know I never will

Love's a contradiction
made of mirrors and smoke
My love. It keeps you wishing
My heart. It makes me broke

[Dan Haseltine (Leigh Nash) {Both}:]
(You will always want me)
And I'll always want to leave
Even though I cut your wounds
(You still deny they're real)
{Rivers flow into the oceans}
{Oceans never fill}
I want to lay my life down
(But I know you never will)

{Love's a strange condition}
{With all the doubts it can invoke}
(Your love keeps me wishing)
My heart. It keeps me broke

[Leigh Nash:]
Baby, don't you cry
'Cause I got it all figured out
You always make me sad
But that's what true love is all about
Rivers never fill the oceans
But oceans always feel
The waters reaching deep inside them
I guess they always will

[Dan Haseltine (Leigh Nash) {Both}:]
Love's a constant mission
Truer words were never spoke
My love it keeps you wishing
My heart, it keeps me broke
Love's a constant mission
Truer words were never spoke
'Cause my love it keeps you wishing
My heart, it makes me broke
Your love it keeps me wishing keeps me wishing
My heart makes me broke
Mirrors and smoke
Mirrors and smoke
