Dust on the mirror Smoke in my lungs Your hands moving faster Than the truth ever does We learned every silence Every beautiful lie How to make people vanish With a look in the eye You tied me to secrets In velvet and gold Smiling for strangers While our hearts turned cold The crowd called it magic They stood there amazed But behind every curtain We were slowly erased Oh, we glittered like diamonds in the dark But every spark was staged Every touch rehearsed Every word in a cage We got lost in magic Lost in the lights Building our heaven from beautiful lies You disappeared slowly right out of my hands While we made the whole world believe we could stand I can’t tell where the act ends anymore Or if we were real before Lost in magic Lost in the show Taking our bows while letting us go Your lipstick on coffee cups Cold dressing room floors You danced in the spotlight Then cried by the door You loved the illusion The version onstage Not the girl going numb Inside of the cage I kept pulling roses Out of empty sleeves But the trick stopped working When you stopped believing You taught me to vanish So I learned how to leave Now there’s nothing but echoes Where your hands used to be Every applause sounded colder Every night pulling us under We smiled while the curtains burned We got lost in magic Lost in the lights Turning our scars into Saturday nights You held my heartbeat like a trick in your sleeve Now there’s nothing left here to believe I can’t tell where your love went anymore Or if it was love before Lost in magic Lost in the smoke Dying in slow motion inside of the joke Do you remember Who we were before the crowds? Before every feeling Had to make us proud? You looked at me like I was holy You looked at me like I was home Now we stand like strangers Waiting in the dark alone I watched our love disappear One illusion at a time And I kept saying “trust me” While losing my mind Nothing underneath us Nothing left to save Just two broken performers Taking turns to fake We got lost in magic Lost in the flame Calling it love while forgetting our names The audience screaming while we fell apart Every trick getting closer to who we are I don’t know how to escape anymore There’s nothing left worth hiding for Lost in magic Lost in the glow Holding each other while letting us go Lost in magic Lost in the show No one can tell But we already know Was any of it real? I don’t know
