Sheer illusion, that is all I am
Now you've got to let me go
There's a fine line between me and him
The guy you seem to think you know

One step closer and I've gone too far
This is not where I belong
One step closer, that is where you are
What the hell have I become?

Sheer illusion, yes, I know that now
You'd be better off alone
I can't hurt you from a million miles away
Oh, and that's what they say

Tell me, baby, do you understand
Why it's not the place or time?
I'm too busy making other plans
You keep missing every sign
True love wouldn't be that blind

Sheer illusion, yes, I know that now
You'd be better off alone
I can't hurt you from a million miles away
Oh, and that's what they say

Sheer illusion, but it's alright now
I just wanna be alone
I can't hurt you from a million miles away

Sheer illusion, that I'm million miles away
