"Smoke & Mirrors" lyrics

"Smoke & Mirrors"

I met you, we made a pact
Broke promises, the system snapped
Saw all your lies in neon lights, uh oh
(Smoke and mirrors)
Glitter coated miracles
And then one day the curtain called
Behind your smile, you're phoney and a fake

Give it up, you've been discovered (ooh)
Don't look back 'cause you just lost your lover
Give it up, you're an illusion (ooh)
Play your tricks and all I get is just confusion

And now we're through, the show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, what I told ya
That all you've done comes back around on you

You said, you were built to last
You took my hand, you made a pass
The moon eclipsed and circled 'round my heart
(Smoke and mirrors)
With your kiss my life began
Your love, it hit, and then you ran
And I hope you pay your dues
I'm moving on

Give it up, you've been discovered (ooh)
Don't look back 'cause you just lost your lover
Give it up, you're an illusion (ooh)
Play your tricks and all I get is just confusion

And now we're through, the show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true, what I told ya
That all you've done comes back around on you

You might think I'm sitting home and crying
But I'm not, oh no!
I've pulled the queen of clubs, there's no denying
I'm having the time of my life

And now we're through, the show is over
The audience is walking out the room
You know it's true (true), what I told ya
That all you've done comes back around on you
