Tryin’ to keep control Pressure’s takin’ its toll Stuck in the middle zone I just want you alone My guessing game is strong Way too real to be wrong Caught up in your show Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion) Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Oh You were a perfect illusion
I don’t need eyes to see I felt you touchin’ me High like amphetamine Maybe you’re just a dream That’s what it means to crush Now that I’m wakin’ up I still feel the blow But at least now I know
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion) Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Where are you? ‘Cause I can’t see (it was a perfect illusion) But I feel you watchin’ me Dilated, falling free In a modern ecstasy
Where are you? ‘Cause I can’t see (it was a perfect illusion) But I feel you watchin’ me But I feel you watchin’ me (illusion) But I feel you watchin’ me (mistaken for love)
Where were you? ‘Cause I can’t see But I feel you watchin’ me (mistaken for love) Dilated, falling free In a modern ecstasy (mistaken for love) In a modern ecstasy In a modern ecstasy
I’m over the show Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion) Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Oh You were a perfect illusion Oh It was a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion Somewhere in all the confusion It was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion
It was a perfect illusion Somewhere in all the confusion You were so perfect You were a—you were a perfect illusion
