It's just an illusion you're dreaming of
It lurks in the corners of your mind
Baby admit it, it's what you hoped to find
But you better stop looking
That ain't what love's about
Forget those expectations
Or you're gonna find out
It's just smoke and mirrors
Another illusion of love

Smoke and mirrors
A smoldering fire
Looking back at us
Shattered glass
And shattered dreams
Nothing's quite the way it seems
Smoke and mirrors
That ain't how I want it to be

We've built something good and it stands a chance
So don't start reflecting
And say it won't last
The truth as you see it just ain't the truth
I know we can make it
Our love is the proof
But you know I'm real
I can hurt and I can bleed
And if you never see it
You won't know what I need

Smoke and mirrors
Another illusion of love
Smoke and mirrors
A smoldering fire
Looking back at us
Shattered glass
And shattered dreams
Nothing's quite the way it seems
Smoke and mirrors
That ain't how I want it to be

Let the smoke turn into fire
A testament to our desire
Let the mirror crack
So we can look inside
I'll hold you
Love you all night long
Baby, that's all that I want

Smoke and mirrors
Another illusion of love
Smoke and mirrors
A smoldering fire
Looking back at us
Shattered glass
And shattered dreams
Nothing's quite the way it seems
Smoke and mirrors
That ain't how I want it to be
