Was It All An Illusion? V 2.1.2 (240324) AON

[Was It All An Illusion? (Camberley Stomp) (24-250324)]
[Lyrics © 2024 Neil R. Paddock. All rights reserved.]

There’s an emptiness
There’s a void… So deep in your eyes
All those things that you can’t help but trivialise
but the cruelty was still a surprise
What have I done wrong, except to be strong?
Go out of your way to make sure that I do not belong!

Anything that’s to do with me (Over and over)
Accept that it’s over, all over, all over

Why not just let things lie?
Why not just let me heal?
Why not try to be real?
You don’t care what I feel!
What more is there left of me for you to steal?

Now it’s so hard to see… Like it all was a dream.
It’s time to wake up, it’s time to get real!
This time it’s too much, that’s what I really feel!
When your love… Is left dead in the dust
And you think to yourself… Just who can I trust but myself?
And try as I must…Just who can I trust but myself?

I was painfully slow to realise
(To put things together)
See that emptiness deep in your eyes
(That’s been there forever!)
Beyond all these pains, all your secondary gains
It’s abundantly clear only hatred remains

Was there ever a love… To be felt
Was there ever a love… To be seen
Was there ever a love… A love to be shared
Was there ever a time that you actually cared
for me?

When there’s nobody home.
When there’s nobody there (Behind those eyes).
When there’s no love on loan
When there’s no love to share
(When you so clearly showed that you no longer care – About me)

Amidst all this confusion - Was it all an illusion?
A convenient lie, was it pie in the sky?
Instead of the truth, hiding right here in plain sight
Shown with every slight!

When you know… That something’s not right
When exposed... To the light
Something has changed
And you wonder…
What’s broken will ever be healthy again?
No goodwill remains.

[Outro]

All that’s left is the sadness – To make up for the madness!
Not one remnant of gladness – Just the odour of badness
No goodwill remains.

[End]
