What a Convincing Illusion

[Verse 1]

Maybe this is all just a projection

Maybe there was never a connection

We were always walking in two different directions

I was just an option, not your object of affection

Dancing at your older sister's wedding

We drank too much but I can still remember

I was getting dizzy and all at once it hit me

Something 'bout the way I felt so disorienting

[Chorus]

I wish I could get back all of that time

I wish I never found out what it's like

To love someone and lose 'em

I feel so fucking stupid

What a convincing illusion

What a convincing illusion

[Verse 2]

Maybe you werе bad at being honest

Maybe I took thе whole thing out of context

I tried my best to blame you, and I hate that I can't hate you

It's nobody's fault you couldn't fall the way I wanted

[Chorus]

I wish I could get back all of that time

I wish I never found out what it's like

To love someone and lose 'em

I feel so fucking stupid

What a convincing illusion

What a convincing illusion

[Bridge]

Sometimes I wish that you'd still call me up

Say that I don't but I still give a fuck about you

When I'm not around you

Sometimes I wish that you'd still call me up

So I can pretend like I don't give a fuck about you

'Cause I'm not around you

[Chorus]

I wish I could get back all of that time (All of that time)

I wish I never found out what it's like

To love someone and lose 'em

I feel so fucking stupid

What a convincing illusion

What a convincing illusion (What a convincing illusion)

[Outro]

I wish I never let you in my life

I wish I never found out what it's like

To love someone and lose 'em

I feel so fucking stupid

What a convincing illusion

What a convincing illusion

Oh, what a convincing illusion
