Lyrics

Seems you created your own illusion

Fuelled by an image of me

Well I couldn't stay at your side

I wouldn't be right

A picture that I just don't see

Why do you have to make it so complicated

Can't it just be beautiful

I don't want to stifle your flight

I didn't mean to fall in love

Always in pursuit of the perfect people

Oh and I can see that it shows

But there's just an innocence in you I wanna wring out

I know it could be beautiful

But I don't want a part of some situation

I don't want to be in that boat

I don't want to stifle your flight

I didn't mean to fall in love

Seems you created your own illusion

Fuelled by an image of me

Well I couldn't stay at your side

I wouldn't be right

A picture that i just don't see
