Mirrors & Smoke - Lyrics - 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 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 My love will keep you wishing And my heart will keep me broke I give you flowers Give you candy to even out the guilt I send 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 My love will keep you wishing My heart makes 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 oceans 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 Your love keeps me wishing 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 Truer words were never spoke My love it keeps you wishing My heart, it keeps me broke Love's a constant mission Truer words were never spoke My love it keeps you wishing My heart, it keeps me broke Mirrors and smoke (it keeps you wishing) My heart keeps me broke Mirrors and smoke Mirrors and smoke
