Illusion
Anne-Marie Nebot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The person in front of me
Is not the one you used to be
Youre taking it all out on me

Youre faking your perfect life
Pretending and telling lies
But I am with you in the shades
You say that I dont understand you
Youll try to find another one, who
Will try a little harder to

Everything I thought was true
Everything about me and you
Is slowly turning into blue

Illusions
Turning to dust before my eyes
Illusions


Waiting for you to come home
For you to start another row
And tell me everything Im doing wrong

There is nowhere else for me to go, and you know
But I still believe that there is hope for us
Even when you are as cold as snow

So I drink another bottle of wine
Telling myself we'll be fine
If I give it a little time

But it can never be undone




The way you hit me lying on the ground
You should be the one to lift me up
