Sweet Illusions

Sweet Illusions - Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

Written by：Ryan Adams/J.P. Bowersock/Cindy Cashdollar/Brad Pemberton/Catherine Popper

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

Oh

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 can feel the sweet illusion coming

Sweet confusion honey

Sweet illusion coming down

And I have hang up nothing but love you know
