The Illusion

from Creatures of Habit by Hannah Fairlight

about

The Illusion is a song inspired by Joni Mitchell's song "Both Sides Now" which explores love vs. the illusion of love.

lyrics

lately I've been looking for the answers from above
maybe I've been questioning your true undying love
could it be that you don't believe
in all of the sweet love songs that we used to sing?

maybe I've been trying too hard to look and talk and act real tough
maybe I'm just angry cus you ain't trying hard enough
maybe I'm just searching for a cure
for our love that used to be so wild and free and pure
and it's got me asking why

why should I give in to the illusion
give me a reason this'll work out fine
I need a reason this'll work out fine
cus I feel as though I'm losing my mind

I want this to be the way that it used to be
when we were so young and in love and so wild and carefree
I want this to be just like the bliss of our first kiss
oh babe, tell me how to get way back where we used to be

maybe I just need to settle down
cus I'm tired of running ragged all around this same damn town
so maybe I
can give in to the illusion
maybe that is reason enough it'll work out fine
but babe can you be the thing that I truly believe in
can you be the reason this'll work out fine
I need a reason this'll work out fine
give me a reason this'll work out fine
cus I feel as though we're wasting all our time
(cus baby good love is hard to find)
