I've seen that smile so many times
I trusted you with my love
But all this time, you were someone else
It was all a game, a masquerade
You knew exactly what to say
To make me feel safe
Day after day

You were only an illusion
A shadow that faded away

How many lies will I believe
All the promises you made
Were nothing more than empty words
How many times will you fool me
You're a stranger in the dream
Will I ever know who you really are

Every time I saw your darkness
You blamed it on someone else
You made me believe
It was all in my head

You took my love
Slow and painful
You buried me
And I was done
I need to realize
Until it was too late

You were only an illusion
A shadow that faded away

How many lies will I believe
All the promises you made
Were nothing more than empty words
How many times will you fool me
You're just a stranger in the dream
Will I ever know who you really are

How many lies will I believe
All the promises you made
Were nothing more than empty words
How many times will you fool me
You're just a stranger in the dream
Will I ever know who you really are
Who you really are
Who you really are
