Tryin' to get control
Pressure's takin' 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)
Ooh, you were a perfect illusion

I don't need eyes to see
I felt you touchin' me
High like amphetamine
Maybe you're just a dream

That's what it means to crush
Now that I'm wakin' 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 watchin' 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 watchin' me)
(But I feel you watchin' me)
Illusion (But I feel you watchin' me)
Mistaken for love

(Where were you?)
('Cause I can't see)
(But I feel you watchin' 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)

Ooh ooh ooh, you were a perfect illusion
Ooh ooh ooh, you were a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
It was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion

(Where were you? 'Cause I can't see it)
It was perfect illusion
(But I feel you watchin' me, baby)
Somewhere in all the confusion
(Dilated, fallin' free)
You were so perfect
(In a modern ecstasy)
You were a, you were a perfect illusion
