Young eyes, can't see any further
But under your smile is something that's deeper
that's where you'll keep it locked away
I want to create you and you need to play to
And maybe within time you'll make it by my side
Mistakes that you're making, it's over, I'll take it
I'll leave it open to what the world decides
Illuminate
Illuminate
Illuminate
Young hearts don't limit each other
Thinking they have nothing to bruise
I'm trying to decide, an unravelling decline
Of word in the skies and mistaken alibis
In truth I try, but no one would stay
I want to create you and you need to play too
And maybe, within time, you'll make it by my side
Mistakes that you're making, it's over, I'll take it
I'll leave it open to what the world decides
Illuminate
Illuminate - This is only a game
Chances are that you've played it
No no, you won't climb out again
Before it all just starts fading
I'm telling you I've played this with you
And you're leaving me with everybody's fools
And the time you ever reach every word
But you don't hear a thing
I defy it, I can't let go
I can't be the one to let you know
I defy it, I can't let go
I can't be the one to let you know
I defy it, I can't let go
I can't be the one to let you know
