Illusions of Love by Girard
Illusions of Love
[Verse 1]
I thought I found a light in you, a fire in the night,
A place where all my dreams could finally take flight,
But every word you whispered,( every touch so warm,)
Was just a fleeting moment,( before the coming storm.)
[Pre-Chorus]
You painted skies with colors that were never true,
I was lost in the beauty, (blinded by the view.)
[Chorus]
Illusions of love, they danced in my mind,
I reached out for something,( but there was nothing to find,)
The shadows of your heart, (they hid the truth away,)
Now I’m standing in the ruins, (of the games we used to play.)
[Verse 2]
I chased the echoes of your voice, like a song that wouldn’t end,
(Believing in the lies, )that you could just pretend,
The pictures in my head, they played a perfect role,
But now I see the cracks, breaking through my soul.
[Pre-Chorus]
You built a world of fantasies, I couldn’t see through,
(But now the glass is shattered,) revealing what is true.
[Chorus]
Illusions of love, they danced in my mind,
I reached out for something, but there was nothing to find,
The shadows of your heart, they hid the truth away,
Now I’m standing in the ruins, of the games we used to play.
[Bridge]
I was lost in the magic, blinded by the charm,
But every spell you cast, only brought me harm,
Now the fog is lifting, and I can see the lies,
The love I thought we had, (was just a thin disguise.)
[Chorus]
Illusions of love, they danced in my mind,
I reached out for something, but there was nothing to find,
The shadows of your heart, they hid the truth away,
Now I’m standing in the ruins, (of the games we used to play.)
[Outro]
Illusions of love, (they fade like the dawn,)
The dreams we shared are gone, and now I must move on,
But the memories linger, like ghosts in the night,
Reminding me of love, that was never truly right.
