tryin’ to get control
pressure’s takin’ its toll
stuck In the middle zone
i just want you alone
my guessin’ game is strong
way too real to be wrong
caught up in your show
yah, 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)
oohoohoo
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)
(but i feel you watchin’ me)
it was a perfect illusion
(dilated, fallin’ free, in a modern ecstasy)
(where are you ‘cause i can’t see)
it was a perfect illusion, illusion
(but i feel you watchin’ me) (x3)
mistaken for love (x3)
(where were you ‘cause i can’t see)
(but i feel you watchin’ me)
(dilated, fallin’ free, in a modern ecstasy)
(in a modern ecstasy) (x3)
i’m over the show
yah, 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)
oohoohoo ooo
you were a perfect illusion
oohoohoo ooo
it was a perfect illusion
it was a perfect illusion
somewhere in all the confusion
it was a perfect illusion illusion illusion…
(where were you ‘cause i cant see it)
it was a perfect illusion
(but i feel you watchin’ me)
somewhere in, all the confusion
(dilated, fallin’ free)
you were so perfect
(in a modern ecstasy)
you were a, you were a perfect illusion
