🎼Delusional (alt-rock / pop-rock)

This one’s about that kind of relationship you keep going back to, even when you know better… until one day you finally don’t.

Verse 1
I was nineteen, totally green
You came and swept me off my feet
I thought it was love, utterly real
It was an illusion steeped in deceit
While I was falling, deep, deep down
You kept control of all the feels
Every promise, every frown
Just empty words laced with steel

bridge
You were my first of everything
First love, first to commit
First to break my heart to shit
You ruined me in the worst ways
Degraded my worth and self-esteem
Man, I must have been delusional

Chorus
Delu-lu-lu-lu-lusional
Blind to your masks, your sweet words, and bullshit
All the games you put me through
I must have been delusional
Delu-lu-lu-lu-lusional
Every break-up, make-up, every hurt you gave
Caught in your cycle of mind fucks and short change
I must have been delusional

Verse 2
I remember the first breakup
It came out of the blue like a hurricane
I hadn’t done anything wrong
You just left me singing this dumb song
I spent that weekend numb
Wondering why we were just done
Until I found out who you screwed
So yeah, thanks… fair game to you

bridge
You were my first of everything
First in love, first to commit
First to break my heart to shit
You ruined me in the worst ways

Chorus
Delu-lu-lu-lu-lusional
Blind to your masks, your sweet words, and bullshit
All the games you put me through
I must have been delusional
Delu-lu-lu-lu-lusional
Every break-up, make-up, every hurt you gave
Caught in your cycle of mind fucks and short change
I must have been delusional

Verse 3
Because of you, I became pathetic
Went back again like I was demented
I don’t even know what magic you had
Looking back, it was some hormonal fad
Round and round, the hurt kept coming
You were a sadist, and I was something
I don’t know when I got off that ride
But thank the stars for self-worth override

bridge
You were my first of everything
First in love, first to commit
First to break my heart to shit
You ruined me in the worst ways
Degraded my worth and self-esteem
Man, I must have been delusional

Chorus
Delu-lu-lu-lu-lusional
Blind to your masks, your sweet words, and bullshit
All the games you put me through
I must have been delusional
Delu-lu-lu-lu-lusional
Every break-up, make-up, every hurt you gave
Caught in your cycle of mind fucks and short change
I’m done being delusional
