In Fiction - Illusion Lyrics

The stage at my feet
is not part of me, the way I'm
perceived contradicts my beliefs,
my heads in a mess about where
I should be, and I'd understand
if you want to leave

When you see how this started
it kinda ruins the illusion
but this what we had wanted
and I don't wanna be
bringing you down if I'm falling,
though I can't explain how this feels now,
all of our fears could be right through
the next door...or not

The flaws in our lives
remind me of why it's better
we learn than go in blindly
and burn, my regret is met
with anxiety, and I understand
if you want to leave

When you see how this started
it kinda ruins the illusion
but this what we had wanted
and I don't wanna be
bringing you down if I'm falling,
though I can't explain how this feels now,
all of our fears could be right through
the next door...or not

As I leave these streets I knew so well
I am falling, knowing
I'll never walk along these roads again
now I have taken all I'm owed
so let me go

She asks if I remember
she swears she'll feel this way forever
but I'm the one in question,
and I don't want to be

bringing you down if I'm falling,
though I can't explain how this feels now,
all of our fears could be right through
the next door...or not
