Goodbye to All Illusions

This love is not real
It has no top, no bottom, no edge
It has no inside, no outside, no texture, nor color
But yet it swells within me
As if to burst from my chest
And cuts as sharp as any knife
I feel it's every twist, and I am helpless, but to yield to its will
This love is not real
This love is not real

This love is not real
This love is not real

Never has a night appeared so bright
Never did this love just seem so right
Forever seeking light where it may shine
Never took rejection as a sign

But it seems our broken souls won't meet
No chance to bond, a sad defeat
Connection down, my hope is lost
I risked my heart and paid the cost
Turn off this light

But your light won't stop from shining
And I can't stop from crying
Turn off this light

Illusion brings your heart to me
A warm embrace that I reject
I cannot make what cannot be
I cannot take what won't reflect
This love is not real
This love is not real
This love is not real
This love is not real
This love is not real
This love is not real
This love is not real
