Soft strings hum like whispers at dawn
The world’s asleep but I’m holding on
A fragile note
A fleeting tone
I built a castle out of air
Dreamed you'd find me waiting there
Every stone
Every stair
Crumbled when I reached to care
Love’s an illusion
A painted sky
You touch it once
It waves goodbye
A fleeting star
A whispered sigh
Oh love
Why do you lie
Fingers trace the edge of night
Chasing shadows
Chasing light
I sent my heart on paper boats
Hoping you'd read the words I wrote
But the ink ran
The tides stole
Every piece
Every goal
Love’s an illusion
A painted sky
You touch it once
It waves goodbye
A fleeting star
A whispered sigh
Oh love
Why do you lie
A mirror lake
A fractured face
Your reflection
My empty space
Romance blooms but leaves no trace
A cruel and tender embrace
Love’s an illusion
A painted sky
You touch it once
It waves goodbye
A fleeting star
A whispered sigh
Oh love
Why do you lie
