Smoke & Mirrors Lyrics

When the show had finally come to this sleepy little town.
So full of hopes and dreams, for this dirt princess and her clown
It's just a nickel game that always seems to end the same
So try your luck on someone new, the only way you know how to do

Who stood in line
And bought a ticket for this ride?
You didn't have to lie,
I would have traded my whole life, because I knew

It was in the way you walk
Was in the way you talked to me
You made it clear
Your love was only smoke and mirrors

The next day they moved away, like the leaves they thought would stay.
Making every child think that they just might be back one day
The carousel was empty, when the horses had escaped
This innocence was gone, this heart will never be the same

But who stood in line,
And was so patient for a ride,
You didn't have to lie,
I would have gambled my whole life, before I knew

It was in the way you walked
Was in the way you talked to me
You made it clear
Your love was only smoke and mirrors

It was in way you walked
So far away from me
As the curtain closes
On this smoke and mirrors

I'm laughing stock at the freak parade
Only empty cup at this bleak charade
All these cardboard fantasies,
They cant take the wind, they cannot take the rain.

It was in the way you walked
It was in the way you talked to me
You made it all so clear
Your love was smoke and mirrors

It was in the way you walked
So far away from me
As the curtain closes
On this smoke and mirrors
