Changing, moving in a circle I can see your face in all of my dreams Smiling, laughing from the shadows When I hear your voice, I know what it means I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try You're all the reason for my life Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You're all I had, you're all I want Disillusion, disillusions, now that's all I have Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd Thinking, wondering what you're doing I can't stop myself from crying out loud They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar But then, they never shared our love Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You're all I had, you're all I want Disillusion, disillusions, now that's all I have Disillusion, disillusions, now that's all I have
