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
