Smoke and Mirrors - Pascale Picard

I’ve grown tired of smoke and mirrors and mysteries

I’ll do the talking while you stare at your feet

It took years to find my own voice now I can’t stop it

Listen to me

How I felt alive by the warmth of your skin

I swallowed your lies cause you’ve got your reasons

But I cut myself in half and count the rings

This has gotta end

I know, I know these walls you’re building

But by now I’m sure they don’t keep you safe

They don’t keep you safe

You’ve had all the pieces to knock me off my game

But I am not as blind as you think I am

Through all the twists and turns, and the fooling around

You never let me win

I know, I know it’s not me you’re playing

But by now I’m sure I’ve got everything

Everything to lose

I’ve grown tired of smoke and mirrors and mysteries

Crying got the sad out but we ran out of tears

It took years to make a choice and I’m a coward to leave

You gotta forgive me

Please forgive me

I’m sure, I’m sure there’s love behind these walls

But by now I know you won’t let me in

You’ll never let me in
