Rosie Darling - Smoke & Mirrors Lyrics

I have this dream, I'm alone on a stage
Tied to a string, I'm just part of your play
And you won't even look at me

I do the impossible to make it worthwhile
You chalk it up to a trick of the light
And you won't even look at me
You see it all, but you don't believe

'Cause it's no fun when they're all laughing
A packed house, you're the one skeptic
Who can't see what everyone sees
It's a standing ovation and you're in your seat

This is my show but it's your circus
I'm dressed up and it's all worthless
'Cause you don't know how to believe all that you see
Is the smoke and the mirrors in me

Trying to love you just makes me feel small
I'm up on a tightrope, you don't care at all
Are you having a ball, holding me in your palm?
Would it kill you to just play along?

'Cause it's no fun when they're all laughing
A packed house, you're the one skeptic
Who can't see what everyone sees
It's a standing ovation and you're in your seat

This is my show but it's your circus
I'm dressed up and it's all worthless
'Cause you don't know how to believe all that you see
Is the smoke and the mirrors in me
The smoke and the mirrors in me

This is my show but it's your circus
I'm dressed up and it's all worthless
'Cause all, all that you see
Is the smoke and the mirrors in me
