Quiet as I watch you falling

You become the prey again

I can see your skin is crawling

Lipstick cases and sins

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

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

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

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

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

I'd rather be alone

Than put you on a throne

And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors

Black painted eyes

Cover the lies

It's time you threw away your cruel disguise

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

I'd rather be alone

Than put you on a throne

And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors
