Perfect Illusion Lyrics

Trying to get control
Pressure's taking it's toll
Stuck in a middle zone
I just want you alone

My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong

Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion

You were a perfect illusion

I don't need eyes to see
I felt ya touching me
High like amphetamine
Maybe it's just a dream

That's what it means to crush
Now that I'm waking up
I still feel the blow
But at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

It was a perfect illusion

( Where are you 'cause I can't see
but I feel you watching me
Dilated, falling free
In a modern ecstasy) (or animal in ecstasy?)

I'm over the show, at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion
Mistaken for love
You were a perfect illusion

It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion

You were so perfect
You were a, you were a

Perfect illusion

She managed to use the word amphetamine as a lyric without it sounding unnatural, I'm impressed.
