Sweet Illusions Lyrics - Cold Roses - Ryan Adams

Let me go I'm only letting you down 

I got nothing to say to you now 

Lose the feelings that are weighing me down 

Is what I'm saying 

It's turning morning all the birds are singing 

I'm not complicating anything 

I'll have another then I'll go to bed 

But I'll dream of you 

'Cause it's almost over 

And it's almost gone 

But I can feel the sweet illusion comin' 

Sweet confusion oh yeah 

Sweet Illusion comin' now 

I ain't got nothing but love for you now 

You and I used to shine like a jewel 

Time's been nothing to us but cruel 

So play it out and never play the fool 

'Cause you'll lose everytime 

We were nothing, we hoped we were best 

Hard times like that don't last 

I've been forgiven, I have been surpassed 

By my heart... have you? 

Cuz it's almost over 

Yeah it's almost gone 

And I can feel the sweet illusion comin' 

Sweet confusion 

Oh sweet illusion coming down 

And I ain't got nothing but love for you 

Love for you 

I can't use lonely nights more to bide by the rules 

But I can resolve 

You never knew me but I did my best 

I'm just lonely inside, I guess 

You gave everything, you really tried 

Thanks 

If we were nothing then it only appears to be 

I'm just living in a dream I guess 

A long black dream that takes me down the river to you 

Well it's almost over 

And we're almost gone 

And I can feel the sweet illusion comin' 

Sweet confusion 

Oh yeah sweet illusion coming down 

Well I can feel the sweet illusion comin' 

Sweet confusion 

Oh yeah sweet illusion coming down 

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
