I’ve gotten good at this magic
Can blindfold myself from seeing the truth
No I don’t want to feel what’s tragic
This wand in my hand can hide the proof

Thought I could be invincible
Never needing to shed a tear
Thought I could make myself invisible
Make all of the pain just disappear

I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve
Keep me an untouchable mystery
Make love easier to believe
No one can hurt a Houdini

This underwater prison isn’t so bad
I can pretend that everything’s okay
I can smile when I’m drowning, breathe when I’m sad
Oh what these special effects can portray

These hands are tied, you want me to break free
But when I escape I’m only fooling myself
I’m the Queen of cards, I’ll show you want you want to see
But I’m only playing with the cards that I’ve dealt
And it’s all just a grand illusion
‘cause I can’t see my heart in all the confusion
through all the smoke and mirrors
through all the smoke and mirrors

Thought I could be invincible
Never needing to shed a tear
Thought I could make myself invisible
Make all of the pain just disappear
