Illusion of Love

[Verse] In my mind she shines like gold But she's a story left untold In my dreams she's all I see Yet she's a ghost not meant to be [Verse 2] She has a name she has a face But in my heart she leaves no trace A figment sewn from all I've known A figment built when I'm alone [Chorus] Illusion of love I'm chasing shadows Painting pictures nowhere to follow When I know her she's undone Illusion fades I'm moving on [Verse 3] I see her laugh I see her cry But it's a truth I can't deny A world of lies so sweet so pure She's just a dream I've yet to cure [Bridge] She haunts my nights she fills my days A love that's just a thought away But in the light she disappears And opens up my hidden fears [Chorus] Illusion of love I'm chasing shadows Painting pictures nowhere to follow When I know her she's undone Illusion fades I'm moving on
