Mirrors & Smoke Lyrics - Good Monsters - Jars Of Clay

I'm feeling older than my years 

I'm feeling pain inside my chest 

It's love that keeps me silent 

It's my silence that you detest 

Rivers flow into the oceans 

And oceans never fill 

I want to kiss your lips, but I know I never will 

Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke 

But love will keep you wishing 

And my heart will keep me broke 

I blew flowers, gave you candy to even out the guilt 

I sent you greeting cards with messages that I could never write 

Rivers flow into the oceans 

And oceans never fill 

I want to let you know me 

But I know I never will 

Love's a contradiction 

Many mirrors and smoke 

Love will keep you wishing 

My heart will keep me broke 

You will always want me 

And I'll always want to leave 

Even though I cut your wounds 

You still deny they're real 

Rivers flow into the ocean 

Oceans never fill 

I want to lay my life down 

But I know you never will 

Love's a strange condition 

With all the doubts it can invoke 

You love keeps me wishing 

And my heart keeps me broke 

Baby, don't you cry, 'cause I got it all figured out 

You always make me sad 

But that's what true love is all about 

Rivers never fill the oceans 

But oceans always feel 

The waters reaching deep inside them 

I guess they always will 

Love's a constant mission to a world you never spoke 

Love, it keeps you wishing 

My heart, it keeps me broke... 

Mirrors and Smoke
