Perfect Illusion Songtext / Lyric

Trying to get control

Pressure's taking its toll

Stuck in the middle zone

I just want you alone



My guessing game is strong

Way too real to be wrong

Caught up in your show

Yeah, at least now I know



It wasn't love, it wasn't love

It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

Mistaken for love, it wasn't love

It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

Oh, you were a perfect illusion



I don't need eyes to see

I felt you touching me

High like amphetamine

Maybe you're just a dream






That's what it means to crush

Now that I'm waking up

I still feel the blow

But at least now I know



It wasn't love, it wasn't love

It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

Mistaken for love, it wasn't love

It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)



(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)

It was a perfect illusion (but I feel you watching me)

(Dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy)



(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)

It was a perfect illusion (but I feel you watching me)

(But I feel you watching me)

Illusion (but I feel you watching me)



Mistaken for love

(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)

(But I feel you watching me)

Mistaken for love (dilated, falling free)

(In a modern ecstasy)

Mistaken for love (in a modern ecstasy)

(In a modern ecstasy)



I'm over the show

Yeah, at least now I know



It wasn't love, it wasn't love

It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

Mistaken for love, it wasn't love

It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)



Oh, you were a perfect illusion

Oh, it was a perfect illusion



It was a perfect illusion

Somewhere in all the confusion

It was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion



It was a perfect illusion

Somewhere in all the confusion

You were so perfect

You were a, you were a perfect illusion
