You were not what I expected
Aren't we all a little less and more
We set aside preconceptions
I fell for what you sold me
Oh
Was it just smoke and mirrors
Did you really care for me
After all the benefits of all the doubts
There was nothing left to see
We cling so hard to the mistake
Simply 'cause it took so long to make
Hide behind self-righteous truth
When the one who chose to ghost was you
Was it just smoke and mirrors
Did you really care for me
After all the benefits of all the doubts
There was nothing left to see
You turn the night, you fling your words like darts
Saw behind the guise, you've missed your mark
So paint your picture of what I am not
While we disagree
Agree to disagree
Yeah, we disagree on what this was
This was not what I expected
