illusion of happiness Lyrics

I would like to know

Was it real for you?

A magic trick for you?

Hm

I would like to know

Many years with you

This character you've built

Oh an illusion of time

Illusion of mind

Illusion of love

That I fell for hard

Oh in your arms

You said

I'll love you

Until the end of time

Told me you'll be here

But now I'm standing here, being on my own

An illusion of happiness, that went for too long

You said you loved me

You said you wanted me

You said forever

But I'm the one wrecked

Up on my staircase

Crying my eyes off

With a burning feeling

That won't go off

You told me

Forever was not enough for you

You wanted more

So I gave you my heart

But you broke it into two

You broke it into two

An illusion of happiness you gave me

Little moments to look back on and cry

All the empty promises

Sitting in my mind

Sitting in my mind

Told me you'll be here

But now I'm standing here, being on my own

An illusion of happiness that went for too long

In my heart

In my mind

In my soul

In my songs

In my sound

In my voice

How can I just let you go?

Illusion of time

Illusion of mind

Illusion of love

That I fell for hard

An illusion of happiness that went for too long

Told me you'll be here

Now I'm standing here being on my own

An illusion of happiness that went for too long
