lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love you completely, but I fear your kindness is fleeting
I never noticed your bouquet of roses were drying
The bluebirds are speaking, but where is the answer I'm seeking?
I always thought that you'd leave me a note upon leaving

[Chorus]
I tried to give it up slowly
You never gave me a reason
I tried to save our love, but you just slipped away
I should've noticed that maybe it was only an illusion

[Verse 2]
The shop on the corner, it never seems to be open
I tried to ring the bell but no one appeared to greet me
So I walked home slowly ignoring the buskers who mock me
Singing the song about the girl with the broken heart

[Chorus]
I tried to give it up slowly
You never gave me a reason
I tried to save our love, but you just slipped away
I should've noticed that maybe it was only an illusion

[Bridge]
I know that it's late
But I don't understand
Why you didn't give a reason
To leave me in the cold

[Chorus]
I tried to give it up slowly
You never gave me a reason
I tried to save our love, but you just slipped away
I should've noticed that maybe it was only an illusion

I tried to give it up slowly
You never gave me a reason
I tried to save our love, but you just slipped away
I should've noticed that maybe it was only an illusion

Maybe it was only an illusion
Maybe it was only an illusion
Maybe it was only an illusion
