Smoke & Mirrors

Paloma Faith Lyrics

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
