Smoke and Mirrors

I never meant to call you out

I've always seen behind your smoke and mirrors

Oh, sweetheart, please, don't yell at me, it really isn't hard to see

The truth that's rotting underneath

Why weren't you honest from the start?

You know, I've always thought she must have liked you

She's just a temptress, don't you know? She'll say she loves you, even though

She only wants to steal your soul

(I'll save you)

You said you'd always be my friend

(You said you'd always be my friend)

That we'd get married when we both got older

I'd never heard those words before, you made me long for something more

But then she tried to steal your love

(She tried to steal your love)

What's with that look?

Do you really think I'm out of line tonight?

Stop calling her name, if you play my game

She may just make it out alive

(I love you)

I'm not asking much, just give me your heart

And put no one else above me, go on, say you love me

Take my hand in yours and tell me that I'll always be the one

Without you, my life means nothing so just say you love me tonight

And if you lie, this poor girl will have to die

I'm sorry that I lost my cool

(I'm sorry that I lost my cool)

As you can see here, I've been very busy

(Very busy)

I found her number in your phone, asked her to meet me here alone

So we could talk, just one on one

(Talk just one on one)

What's with that look?

Do you really think I'm taking this too far?

All you have to do is swear that you'll be true

And I will let her go right now

(Just don't lie)

No, I won't fall for this again

(I won't fall for this again)

I'll always see behind your smoke and mirrors

I know you love me deep inside, you're simply caught up in her lie

(I know you love me, I know you love me)

So I will cut you free myself

(I know you love me deep inside)

I'm not asking much, just give me your heart

And put no one else above me, please, just say you love me

Take my hands in yours and tell me that I'll always be the one

Without you, my life means nothing so just say you love me

C'mon, what's the problem? Quit your crying, be a man

Surely, she couldn't mean that much, let me give you my love

My soul, my heart, and body, yes, I give it all to you

And if you still won't accept it, you're gonna regret it

I hate to play these games

But you're driving me insane

Won't you tell me that you'll stay

Now that she's not in the way?
