Mirage
Our love is just a mirage
I can see it but there's nothing there
Why then do I keep on fallin
For these one sided love affairs
Ours was a whirlwind courtship always together having fun
Sharing lots of drinks and laughs, always on the run
It was there on the dance floor as I held you tight
I gazed into your eyes and saw your love light
We were getting closer at least that’s what I thought
But, I was a placeholder, for another whom you sought.
From far away I see the fire
But when I’m close I can’t feel the heat
You’re the object of my desire
But it seems you have cold feet
Like a man in a dessert, dying of thirst
Reaches out for water, and grabs nothing but dirt
The love in your eyes I see, is not really there
Cause when I get closer, it just disappears
You’re a cool drink of water, and I really need a drink
But your love is just an illusion, gone with just a blink
Our love is just a mirage
You can see it but there's nothing there
Why then do I keep on fallin
For these one sided love affairs
When you think somebody loves you
And you want to believe that they do –
You ignore all the signs, that tell you they're untrue.
You give into your passion, as you feel you must
Then suddenly you’re wondering
Is this love or is this lust?
From far away I see the fire
But when I’m close I can’t feel the heat
You’re the object of my desire
But it seems you have cold feet
If you stand too close to fire, you know you will get burned
Can you feel my desire, or haven’t I yet learned
That your love is just an illusion, to be seen and not felt
A cold apparition, even my fire can not melt
That cold heart of yours, remains hidden from my view
Disguised by a ghostly love, of a woman who’s untrue
Our love is just a mirage
You can see it but there's nothing there
Why then do I keep on fallin
For these one sided love affairs
