Oh, Love (What an Illusion)

from Beneath the Cauldron (2021) by Blake Starkey

/

lyrics

Here out on my own
Not far from home
Another tale of a broken heart
And nothing has changed
Just rearranged
And I still feel lonesome now

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Wretched lies
Shattered lives
Oh love, what an illusion
Cheating hearts
Ripped aparts
Oh love, what a delusion
Tattered dreams
Ripped the seams
Oh love, what an illusion
From the start
In my heart
Oh love, what a delusion

I wrote your name in the sky
But the winds came and blew it away
I wrote in your name in my heart
And that’s where it will always stay

Here I’m on the phone
But still alone
Another tale of a lonely heart
And nothing has changed
Just rearranged
And I still feel lonesome now
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Wretched lies
Shattered lives
Oh love, what an illusion
Cheating hearts
Ripped aparts
Oh love, what a delusion
Tattered dreams
Ripped the seams
Oh love, what an illusion
From the start
In my heart
Oh love, what a delusion

I wrote your name in the sky
But the winds came and blew it away
I wrote in your name in my heart
And that’s where it will always stay

She is neither pink nor pale
And she reeks of cheap white wine
She learned to love in a fairytale
From a wretched concubine
