Smoke and Mirrors

She walks alone every morning
Down the same old street
And wonders how she let her days get stuck on this endless repeat
She wants that movie life
A hero comes to sweep her off her feet
They'll run away (They'll run away)

But when you look behind the scene theres a projector
And the screen is flashing images of lies there's nothing there believe your eyes (Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors
Watch out (Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors

Day after day waiting at tables
Small town girl cliché
She serves the same old faces hoping that she'll make it out some day
Her feet are tired but strong enough to carry her away (She'll run away)

Friend of a friend has some room
Out in NYC
She's never been there yet convinced there's no place she would rather be
She wants that city life
The one she's only seen on her TV
She'll get away (She'll get away)

But when you look behind the stage there's a director
And the page is telling her what to do and say its just a story just a play (Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors
Watch out (Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors

Spotlights and fire
It's a liar
Who could do it
See right through it

She spends her life taking orders
Both at work and home
She plays the role of someone confident enough to be alone
She's smoke and mirrors because when she starts to break through the unknown
She runs away (She runs away)

(Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors
Watch Out (Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors
Watch Out (Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors
Watch Out (Watch Out)
It's smoke and mirrors
