The Illusion of the World

Illusions wear a golden light, But they can never warm the soul. You mistook desire for true love, Leaving only pain where passion used to grow. After all this time, You found your dream was made of smoke. Then you came looking for shelter At the door you once walked away from. At the door you once walked away from. [Bridge – building with piano and strings] I learned to choose myself, I learned how to survive. Every scar became my strength, Teaching me how to come alive again. Now I look back Without anger, without chains, Because the one who lost me Lost a love that was real, not just another choice. Lost a love that was real, not just another choice. [Final Chorus – bigger and more powerful] Now you're standing at my door, Saying the world let you down. But I was the one who cried alone, I was the one who found my way. Now you're running back to me, But time never turned around. You lost the one who truly loved you, And I found someone who loves me now.You thought I'd wait forever... You thought I'd spend my life in pain... But life has shown me... The one who lost... Was you.
