Perfect Illusion

tryin' to get control
pressure's takin' its toll
stuck in the middle zone
i just want you alone
my guessing game is strong
way too real to be wrong
caught up in your show
yeah, at least now i know

it wasn't love, it wasn't love
it was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
mistaken for love, it wasn't love
it was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
you were a perfect illusion

i don't need eyes to see
i felt you touchin' me
high like amphetamine
maybe you're just a dream
that's what it means to crush
now that i'm wakin' up
i still feel the blow
but at least now i know

it wasn't love, it wasn't love
it was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
mistaken for love, it wasn't love
it was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

(where are you, 'cause i can't see you)
it was a perfect illusion
(but i feel you watchin' me
dilated, falling free, in a modern ecstasy)
(where are you, 'cause i can't see you)
it was a perfect illusion
(but i feel you watchin' me)
illusion (but i feel you watchin' me)
mistaken for love (where are you 'cause i can't see)
(but i feel you watchin' me)
mistaken for love
(dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy)
mistaken for love
(in a modern ecstasy, in a modern ecstasy)

i'm over the show
yeah at least now i know

it wasn't love, it wasn't love
it was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
mistaken for love, it wasn't love
it was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
(aah) you were a perfect illusion
(aah) it was a perfect illusion

it was a perfect illusion
somewhere in all the confusion
it was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion

it was perfect illusion
somewhere in all the confusion
you were so perfect
you were a, you were a perfect illusion
