Smoke & Mirrors
I should sew my mouth shut
So I could shut up
And we would never have to talk about how
I know I fucked up
When I took my god damn time trying to make things right, but now
The clocks left ticking in an empty room
There is no me and you
The clocks left ticking but I won't see you soon
'Cause there's no reason left to talk about it
Well, I fucked up
I'll say it again
I'm always burning at both ends
Yeah, I fucked up
I'll sing it again
It doesn't change who I was then
When I gave it all and you took the fall
I misjudged my sense of seeing clearer
Somewhere in the mess I made I lost you in the smoke and mirrors
I blinked for a few months
And let my mouth run
But it never seemed to know where to go
So I swallowed my own tongue
And tried to make things right, when I should've let this go
The clocks left ticking in an empty room
There is no me and you
The clocks left ticking but I won't see you soon
'Cause there's no reason left to talk about it
Well, I fucked up
I'll say it again
I'm always burning at both ends
Yeah, I fucked up
I'll sing it again
It doesn't change who I was then
When I gave it all and you took the fall
I misjudged my sense of seeing clearer
Somewhere in the mess I made I lost you in the smoke and mirrors
So I could shut up
And we would never have to talk about how
I know I fucked up
When I took my god damn time trying to make things right, but now
The clocks left ticking in an empty room
There is no me and you
The clocks left ticking but I won't see you soon
'Cause there's no reason left to talk about it
Well, I fucked up
I'll say it again
I'm always burning at both ends
Yeah, I fucked up
I'll sing it again
It doesn't change who I was then
When I gave it all and you took the fall
I misjudged my sense of seeing clearer
Somewhere in the mess I made I lost you in the smoke and mirrors
I blinked for a few months
And let my mouth run
But it never seemed to know where to go
So I swallowed my own tongue
And tried to make things right, when I should've let this go
The clocks left ticking in an empty room
There is no me and you
The clocks left ticking but I won't see you soon
'Cause there's no reason left to talk about it
Well, I fucked up
I'll say it again
I'm always burning at both ends
Yeah, I fucked up
I'll sing it again
It doesn't change who I was then
When I gave it all and you took the fall
I misjudged my sense of seeing clearer
Somewhere in the mess I made I lost you in the smoke and mirrors
