Lyrics
Tell me you believe in love
It's not an illusion (yeah)

I've been thinking 'bout the nights
And the dangerous tricks
People play on the eyes of the innocent
I could turn a lot of hearts into
Breaks with smoke and
Mirrors disappearing
Right in front of them

But believe me
I'm not trying to deceive you
I promise falling for me
Won't be a mistake

No, baby, this is not an illusion
I've really got my heart out on my sleeve
Oh, baby, this is not an illusion
There's magic between you and me
No, baby, this is not an illusion
You really got me lifted off my feet
So, tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion to me

You don't ever have to worry 'bout me
'Bout how the cards fall
I'm all that you need tonight

I would never turn your heart into
Broken parts
You don't have to think twice
Looking in my eyes

Can't you see it?
I'm not trying to mislead you
I promise falling for me
Won't be a mistake

No, baby, this is not an illusion
I've really got my heart out on my sleeve
Oh, baby, this is not an illusion
There's magic between you and me
No, baby, this is not an illusion
You really got me lifted off my feet
So, tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion to me

You can tie me up in chains
You can throw away the key
But there's no trap doors
I'm not gonna leave
You're the truth I can't explain
You're the only one I see
It's not an illusion to me

No, baby, this is not an illusion
I've really got my heart out on my sleeve
Oh, baby, this is not an illusion
There's magic between you and me
No, baby, this is not an illusion
You really got me lifted off my feet
So, tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion to me

So, tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion
