I looked at me
In the mirror
I felt so much fear
You said it was over
Just a day before
That's when you walked out the door
I look at myself now
And I just wonder
Was it just an illusion
Or a very vivid dream
Was it actually nothing
Or what could've been
The illusion of love
But no illusion of pain
Cause I feel it in my heart
But you're not here to take it away
Cause you just left me standing there
But only one thing fell, a single tear
So was it just an illusion
Something that was never true
Something that was just for you
You never cared
And as I stand and stare at myself
I know I'm better without you
You may have been an illusion
A vivid dream
Something that could've been
But you hid me in the dark
But now I refuse to be controlled
I'm not your illusion
I now stand tall
You may have broke my walls but I can rebuild
Now I know
Love is just an illusion
Cause you were never there
Just something that could've been
You were just an illusion
I was just an illusion
To me you were everything
To you I was nothing
So now I say I haven't anything to fear
I no longer cry any tears
I wish you were more
Not just an illusion
Not just a dream
Not just something fake
Not just something you wanted
I wanted to be more
But you shoved me in a closet
Refused to tell anyone about you and me
You called a fixer upper
You pointed out all my flaws
But you were the only one who needing fixing
It was just an illusion
You were an illusion
It was all a vivid dream
But I care no more
Because you will never change
Love is a force powerful and strange
But you will never change
You have no love
You're heart is just an illusion
It doesn't exist
Or it's frozen over by ice
But our relationship wasn't the illusion
It was you and me
But now I'm free
Cause it was an illusion
But now I stand proud
I tell everyone and they all hate you now
Because you hid what I thought was true
But have fun by yourself
Because nobody is ever going to date you
Everyone knows your the illusion
You make up things
You said you loved me
But then we wouldn't be here
Not in this spot
Cause it was just an illusion
I hate that you gave me this illusion
I hate you let me keep dreaming
I hate you kept it all going for far too long
I hate that I have to stare at myself now
But I know you're wrong
Right?
What if I was the illusion
The one that held you back
What if everything you told me was true in fact
What if I'm fat
Or just plain lazy
I was the one that destroyed
I'm just an illusion
One not worth fighting for
I'm just a dream
Nobody ever knows me
I shouldn't keep going on
I don't deserve to survive
I'm just the illusion
Or maybe we both were
We were both dreams
Both disconnected but to tight to let go
We are both sinners at our core
We refused to open our gates
Love is the illusion
I'm the illusion
You are the illusion
Life is the illusion
Everyone is just an illusion
Just an illusion
