Lyrics

Disillusion

[Verse 1]

Changing, moving in a circle

I can see your face in all of my dreams

Smiling, laughing from the shadows

When I hear your voice I know what it means

I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try

You're all the reason for my life

[Chorus]

Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down?

You're all I had, you're all I want

Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have

[Verse 2]

Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows

Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd?

Thinking, wondering, what you're doing

I can't stop myself from crying out loud

They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar

But then, they'd never shared our love

[Chorus]

Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down?

You're all I had, you're all I want

Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have

[Outro]

Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
