Smoke And Mirrors

[Verse 1]
Quiet as I watch you falling
You become the prey again
I can see your skin is crawling
Lipstick cases and sins

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're drowning
Same old song and dance
Wake up, wake up, wake up
My darling
Never stood a chance

[Chorus]
Lost in love
You are, out of touch
So far, an illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors

[Verse 2]
I hear it in her voice, she's stalling
You were just another man
Your claims of love are falling
Now it's clear you can't win

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Heart's pounding
Praying for romance
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's sounding
Time to try again

[Chorus]
Lost in love
You are, out of touch
So far, an illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors

[Post-Chorus]
I'd rather be alone
Than put you on the throne
And lose my faith
In smoke and mirrors

[Bridge]
Black painted eyes
Cover the lies
It's time you
Threw away your cruel disguise

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Lost in love
You are, out of touch
So far, an illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It's all just smoke and mirrors

[Post-Chorus]
I'd rather be alone
Than put you on the throne
And lose my faith
In smoke and mirrors
