Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You lied to me
You didn't want me to see
You knew that if I knew
I might believe in me
Mmm, ah, you tried to
Break me all the way down
Mmm, mmm
You wouldn't believe
When I got back to myself what I found
Mmm, check this out
[Chorus]
It was just smoke and mirrors
They try to act like they don't hear us
It was just smoke and mirrors
I'm crystal clear, just don't get near us
[Verse 2]
They lied to you
They say, "Do what I say, not as I do"
They're so terrified that you might find
What really resides inside of you
You had me fooled
Told me that you're all I need
Now I know that you don't know
And you bleed the same blood I bleed
Would you believe?
[Chorus]
It was just smoke and mirrors
They try to act like they don't hear us
It was just smoke and mirrors
I'm crystal clear, just don't get near us
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
It was just smoke and mirrors
They try to act like they don't hear us
It was just smoke and mirrors
I'm crystal clear, please don't get near us
