Beautiful Illusion Lyrics by Calling The Crows

2021

Of the hardest lessons that this life has in store
Is the second you assume someone's heart is like yours
I was young I was stupid for letting you right in
Get in under my skin mess with my head and heart again
Now who am I after this or by advice of the masses
Hurt numb people using a vice to mask it
Or looking for the next best drug or attraction
To use it all up and then pass it to the trash can

All the way back then
(Watching their actions)
Pride speaking loud
(Call connection detachment)
Call it intimacy but don't know what that is
In a world of all receipts and attachments
And thе silence that you left in my hеad
Tells me I'm not good enough tells me my best days are up
Tells me I don't deserve your love 'cuz this was never real
But the hook in this beautiful illusion y
You've been using me for is
I'll never be your perfect fantasy so dear there's the door

Searching in vain for a soul I can touch and see
I feel so alone drowned in depths of emotion's sea
Everything they do and say is exactly the same to me
Decaying into vacancy
Thanks to you I finally see
The villain of the story all along was me

Lies in our lives are easy to identify
The truth we can't hide is effortless to find
It didn't spare our innocence our hearts our minds
It doesn't care a little bit what we feel inside
Now lying in the dirt of my own rebirth funeral
I see through the hurt how I gave you the control
This love leaves us scarred and I've become someone else
I thought you were the enemy but I only hate myself

All the way back then
(watching their actions)
Pride speaking loud
(Call connection detachment)
Call it intimacy but don't know what that is
In a world of all receipts and always no attachments
And the silence that you left in my head
Tells me I'm not good enough, tells me my best days are up
Tells me I don't deserve your love cuz this was never real
But the hook in this beautiful illusion
You've been using me for is
Now I've become everything I hated you for

Searching in vain for a soul I can touch and see
I feel so alone drowned in depths of emotion's sea
Everything they do and say is exactly the same to me
Decaying into vacancy
Thanks to you I finally see
The villain of the story all along was me

Here's to a thousand new start with old broken parts
They say to hold on to nothing
So I just tore out my heart
You can't erase the rage that burns in tomorrow's wings
So I'm letting you go you and everything I know
Now to waste myself down this road and now I'm finally gone

Searching in vain for a soul I can touch and see
I feel so alone drowned in depths of emotion's sea
Everything they do and say is exactly the same to me
Decaying into vacancy
Thanks to you I finally see
The villain of the story all along was me
