Frances Ruffelle Lose Your Illusions lyrics

We lost our way long ago
You can't deny that our love had shattered
When I looked back, you were just a speck

Though the water was deep
I swam on, couldn't you see
I'd become so strong
And now you've got to face the reality
End your dream

You've got to lose your illusions
If I wanted you, you would have known
There's no other solution, I'm on my own

You've always lived in a shell
Buried in the sand
Never dared to risk the waves
Were you that safe?
Were you happy inside, just to hide?

Can you lose your illusions
If you loved me you would have known
There's the conclusion


Secure in your faith I had no one else
When you looked at me
You thought that you saw yourself
You were locked in the past
Unable to break out but I needed more
I wanted to know what life's all about

You didn't see me change
Because you were too blind
You're too late now
I've already left you way behind

But I couldn't touch you so I had to leave
I'm a child of the waves now, feeling free

You have to lose your illusions
See yourself clearly and you might learn
That there's a simple solution
