lyrics

You wonder why she’s so tough
A punishment you can’t get enough
And you’re fading, you’re not yourself
Her heart is a shotgun, her words are the shells

She hates you but you can’t tell
The reason why she’s so upset
But you love her and she can see
Perhaps why she’s playing so hard to get

Why does she bring you to your knees?
Your heart in her hand gently squeezed

It’s a mix of illusion
To love what we can’t have
’Til it breaks us down
Mix of illusion
To love what we can’t have

This thing was over before it began
The biggest bluff you pulled off was
Letting me hold your hand

Maybe I was too kind
Or I was too shy
I couldn’t tell then
But in hindsight
It seemed that you just couldn’t decide, decide

Why do you bring me to my knees?
My heart in your hand gently squeezed

It’s a mix of illusion
To love what we can’t have
’Til it breaks us down
Mix of illusion
To love what we can’t have

// Woah //

It’s a mix of illusion
To love what we can’t have
’Til it breaks us down
Mix of illusion
To love what we can’t have
