RYAN ADAMS LYRICS - Sweet Illusions

"Sweet Illusions"



Let me go I'm only letting you down

I 've got nothing to say to you now

I lose the feelings that are weighing me down

When I'm safe



It's turning morning all the birds sing

I'm not complicating anything

I'll have another then I'll go to bed

But I'll dream of you



Cause it's almost over

And it's almost gone



And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming

Sweet confusion, honey

Sweet illusion coming down

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now



You and I used to shine like a jewel

But times been nothing to us but cruel

So play it out and never played the fool

Cause you'll lose every time



We were nothing, we were only the past

Hard times like that don't last

I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed

By my heart

Have you?



Cause it's almost over

Yeah it's almost gone



And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming

Sweet Confusion, honey

Sweet Illusion coming down

And I ain't got nothing but love for you



Love for you I can't use

And lonely nights multiplied by the blues

That I can't resolve



You never knew me but I did my best

I'm just lonely inside I guess

You gave me everything you really tried

Thanks....



If we were nothing and we're only the past

Then I'm just living in a dream I guess

A long black dream that takes me down the river to you



Where it's almost over

And we're almost gone



And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming

Sweet Confusion, honey

Sweet Illusion coming down



And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
