Let me go I'm only letting you down
I got nothing to say to you now
Lose the feelings that are weighing me down
When I'm saneIt's turning morning all the birds sing
I'm not complicating anything
I'll have another and then I'll go to bed
And dream of youCause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost goneI can feel the sweet illusion
Sweet confusion
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you nowYou and I used to shine like a jewel
But time's been nothing to us but cruel
So play it out and never play the fool
Cause you'll lose everytimeWe were nothing,we were only the past
Hard times like that don't last
I've been forgiven,I've been surpassed
By my heart
Have you?Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost goneI can feel the sweet illusion
Sweet confusion
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but loveLove for you that I can't use
Lonely nights multiplied by the blues
I can't resolveYou never knew me but you did you're best
I'm just lonely inside I guess
You gave me everything you really tried
ThanksIf we are nothing and we're only the past
Well I'm just living in a dream I guess
A long black dream that takes me down the river to youWhere it's almost over
And it's almost goneAnd I can feel the sweet illusion
Sweet confusion
Sweet illusion coming downSweet illusion
Sweet confusion
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
