lyrics

Hey I've been alone for far too long
You keep leaving me just like the dawn
But now I know just what you are
You're just a shadow with an empty heart
Hey I've been lost out in the night
You say come over but it don't feel right
And now I know just what you want
You don't want love you want someone you can haunt

Now I know you can't love an illusion
Cause when I love him I can only lose him
Now I know you can't love a ghost
Cause he won't ever let me get close

oooh x2

Hey I've been in the dark without a light
You always lie bout what you're doing tonight
But now I know just what I've missed
You say you're alone but I know who you're with
Hey I've been caving in
I don't know how I could've let you in
But now I know just what you want
You don't want love you want someone you can haunt

Now I know you can't love an illusion
Cause when I love him I can only lose him
Now I know you can't love a ghost
Cause he won't ever let me get close

Illusion x17

Now I know you can't love an illusion
Cause when I love him I can only lose him
Now I know you can't love a ghost
Cause he won't ever let me get close

Now I know you can't love an illusion
Cause when I love him I can only lose him
