I understand why you do it
I understand life's put you through it
I understand sometimes it gets hard
And it may seem easier to go dark
But do you understand what you're doing
Were you a man worthy of choosing
Is it my hand that's always losing
Were you the one or just an illusion
I understand why you'd leave me
I understand I don't make it easy
I understand sometimes that these scars
Seem to take over the rhythm of your heart
But do you understand what you're doing
Can you sleep well with what you're choosing
Am I the one piece fit for exclusion
Was anything real
Or just an illusion
Illusion
I understand that you're breaking
And deep down you feel like you can't make it
But you see this hand of mine
Take it
And I'll show you to safety
Cuz I understand it's confusing
And your darkness feels all consuming
If you'd only let me I'd get you through it
But you seem to rather we fall into ruin
It's cuz I understand that I've been patient
But I cannot stand here and keep on waiting
With your pretty words you tell me you're staying
But you show something different in how you're behaving
So do you understand what you're proving
If you can sleep well with what you're choosing
If you can part with this love you're refusing
Then I think it's clear you're just an illusion
Oh nothing real about you
You're not real
You're not real
You're only an Illusion
