I can only give you the illusion of love
I can make it real seem just like it should
And it's almost as good it feels almost the same
When you tell all your friends they won't say
You're to blame
I can give you a kiss and i can treat you right
I can hold you in my arms through the darkest night

You can let yourself believe that it's almost true
Hide away the lies just to make it through
And you can hope that you're tough
Say you must believe
You can let yourself believe that it will be enough
Thought you would get stronger
You could rise above
Inside you deep down you know

The illusion of love, is that what you want?
All i can give is the illusion of love
The illusion of love, that's your chosen drug
All i can give, is the illusion of love, the illusion of love

Lying with her seeing angels above
I was blinded by the illusion of love
When i look back its like nothing before it was real
And i finally awoke from a lifetime of nothing to feel
Then my heart died, died that day, my heart died
When she turned to me to say...

The illusion of love...
I thought that i was a super hero in her eyes
Until i found i lived a lie
And she was not my Lois Lane she was kryptonite
Now i can't fight for anything or anyone
Because the will to fight has gone
And we are here tonight, and that's alright
In an eternity of knowing what you will never have from me

In time you'll have the distance so you can know the difference

Without me here to blind you love will come to find you
It seems that i don't love you at all, love has left me
Nothing for
The hole inside my heart and i cant give you any more
I can't give you anymore

The illusion of love, is that what you want?
All i can give, is the illusion of love
The illusion of love, is your chosen drug
All i can give, is the illusion of love
The illusion of love, is your chosen drug
All i can give, is the illusion of love
I can give you the illusion of love
