what made me think you would be what I wanted? how could i justify such as expectation?
why am i so disappointed in the truth? horrified and hurt by the revelation...
disillusioned...i've heard it's a good thing to be freed of my fantasies
disillusioned...after the sting, I will see things as they are...
i can see you as you are...
i don't really plan to make a habit of my pain, i pray each day to find forgiveness
in my heart
but still, the angry feelings catch me naked and afraid
so suddenly erupting...as my self-image falls apart, i'm disillusioned
Disillusioned...i've heard it's a good thing to be freed of my fantasies
disillusioned...after the sting, I will see things as they are...
i can see you as you are...
yes, it really helps believing that life here is a lesson
and everything's a opportunity to grow
i know someday, i'll be thankful for every situation, but right now, this is all i know
still i find back and forth i go
what makes me think you will be what i want now
so often i have lived in my imagination
i just want to love you the way that you are and not the someone of my own creation
Disillusioned...i've heard it's a good thing to be freed of my fantasies
disillusioned...after the sting, I will see things as they are...
i can see you as you are...
