Beautiful Illusion

Lyrics

Beautiful Illusion (I Don’t Wanna Talk) Verse 1 I don’t wanna talk today… Nothing’s left for me to say. Every dream I tried to hold Slowly slipped away. I believed in open hearts, In promises that stayed. Now I see the cracks beneath The picture that we made. Pre-Chorus Maybe we’ve been chasing shadows, Calling darkness light. Covering the truth with colors, Just to sleep at night. Chorus Beautiful illusion… That’s the world we’re living in. We smile while we’re breaking, We lose before we win. I don’t wanna talk… Not anymore tonight. I’d rather hear the silence Than another pretty lie. Beautiful illusion… Falling like the rain. I opened up my eyes… Nothing looks the same. Verse 2 Every face becomes a stranger, Every word a disguise. People build their little heavens, Looking through closed eyes. I don’t hate the world around me, I just need some air. ‘Cause every time I let you in, There’s less of me to spare. Pre-Chorus Movies taught us happy endings, Life forgot the scene. Somewhere between hope and heartbreak We lost what love could mean. Chorus Beautiful illusion… That’s the world we’re living in. We smile while we’re breaking, We lose before we win. I don’t wanna talk… Not anymore tonight. I’d rather hear the silence Than another pretty lie. Beautiful illusion… Fading with the dawn. Everything I thought was real Is already gone. Bridge If there’s still a light Beyond the smoke and fear… If there’s still a heart That’s honest somewhere here… I’ll keep one small piece of mine alive… Just enough… To survive. Final Chorus Beautiful illusion… I won’t close my eyes again. Truth may leave a scar, But lies never heal the pain. I don’t wanna talk… I’ll let my soul explain. Beautiful illusion… You almost made me stay… But I’d rather walk alone… Than lose myself… That way.
