lyrics

i've tiptoed around the truth
and i've had to sugaRcoat some lies
wondering what might sEt you off
'cause roses cover your land Mines

single sidEd tendencies
but i'm too old for freneMies

so you go your way, i'll go mine
i wont think twice
i know i'll Be fine
i wont shEd one tear
so go ahead and thRow your bricks
honey i'll make mountains from your stones and sticks
and cliMb on up to where the air is clearer
rising from the ashEs of your smoke and mirrors

daddy said stand your ground
don't back down don't take no slack
mama told me prove them Wrong
oh but i know time will take care of tHat

so you go your way, i'll go minE
i woNt think twice
i know i'll be fine
i wont shed one tear
so go ahead and throw Your bricks
honey i'll make mOuntains from your stones and sticks
and climb on Up to where the air is clearer
rising from the ashes of youR smoke and mirrors

single sidEd tendencies
but i'm too old for Frenemies

so you go your wAy, i'll go mine
i wont think twice
i know i'll be fine
i wont shed one tear
s o go ahead and throw your bricks
honey i'll make Mountains from your stones and sticks
and climb On up to where the air is clearer
rising from the ashes of yoUr smoke and mirrors

(smoke and mirrors)
rising from the asheS of your smoke and mirrors
