People say we got a lot to learn, that's ok
Complicate things when you're young
The man around the corner likes to roll his dice
Take it easy babe, he's not the only one
And all the light starts to yellow and fade
See you in the middle and all the love we made
I'm your girl and you're my man
It's just an illusion, this I know
(Solo)
Been around the block once, twice, maybe more
Never met a hungry fool I couldn't learn to adore
Hopeless smiles and crooked eyes
Trade it in for a heart full of lies
I won't tonight
And all the light starts to yellow and fade
See you in the middle and all the love we made
I'm your girl and you're my man
It's just an illusion, this I know
Been around easy street
Carry a nightmare so you can take the heat
Some are lonely to fight wars
You never asked for much but you always want more
Searching for your love, needing your love
I want relief, not defeat
Some people say I've got a lot to learn
And nothing comes easy, nothing comes in between
I'm your girl and you're my man
I can see the whole world at your feet
People come together to build their whole lives
Nothing from nothing will give you something
Sometimes, sometimes, this illusion is all I know
