My friends have all asked me
What I see in you
Truth is there's this thing
An illusion you do
You give me the illusion
Of someone who's real
An illusion that's deep
And it makes me feel
Whenever I'm with you
It rivals my dreams
Whole time you're reciting
What you saw in some meme
You give me the illusion
Of happily ever after
But if I listened closely
I'd hear sinister laughter
When morning comes and you're gone
I awake in confusion
You did it again
It was all an illusion
