Smoke & Mirrors

Standing on the front lines
Staring at the sun rise over the hill
Waiting for the kill
Sweet anticipation, never conversation
Tears in our eyes from holding too tight
Waiting till the demons come
Wait for us to see them run
In our direction
Now they're staring at us through the trees
Got us falling to our knees
To teach us a lesson
So tell me
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really want me?
Now that I see you clearer
I wonder, was I ever really happy?
Didn't get the chance to ask me
Now that I see you clearer
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
Oh, was it just smoke and mirrors?
Holding onto tables, pulling out the staples
Keeping you close, now we're not afloat
Point me in the right direction, answer me one question
'Cause I could've sworn that I wasn't wrong
Waiting till the demons come
Wait for us to see them run
In our direction (in our direction)
Ooh, staring at us through the trees
Got us falling to our knees
To teach us a lesson (teach us a lesson)
So tell me
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really want me?
Now that I see you clearer
I wonder, was I ever really happy?
Didn't get the chance to ask me
Now that I see you clearer
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
Oh, was it just smoke and mirrors?
Darling, I have been afraid
I could only call your name
Thank the heavens that you stayed, ooh
But if I'm telling you the truth
When I cut the tether loose
It was me
Saving you
So tell me
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really want me?
Now that I see you clearer
I wonder, was I ever really happy?
Didn't get the chance to ask me
Now that I see you clearer
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
