Mirage

(album: Evo - 2018)

Look at my expectations
Are they better than you?
The images are never real (Images are never real)
(Images are never real)
Just a hallucination in the back of my head
A hologram I'll never feel (Only gonna blind you)
Ooh, I could never tell
If you'd be the one to catch me when I fell

You're just a mirage to me
No more than a fantasy
It's not about the tick, tick, ticking boxes
I know I'm never gonna find you (No-oh-oh)
You're just a mirage to me
This is the reality
It's not about the tick, tick, ticking boxes
Believing is only gonna blind you
(Only gonna blind you)

Who am I not to question
How you're making me feel?
You lead me on another day (Lead me on another day)
(Lead me on another day)
And through all this hesitation in the back of my head
I tell myself to walk away (Only gonna)

You're just a mirage to me
No more than a fantasy
It's not about the tick, tick, ticking boxes
I know I'm never gonna find you
You're just a mirage to me
This is the reality
It's not about the tick, tick, ticking boxes
Believing is only gonna blind you

Love is a compromise
You fade before my eyes
It's true, I can't decide
To wait around for something I'll never find
Ooh, I could never tell
If you'd be the one to catch me when I fell

You're just a mirage to me
No more than a fantasy
It's not about the tick, tick, ticking boxes
I know I'm never gonna find you
You're just a mirage to me
This is the reality
It's not about the tick, tick, ticking boxes
Believing is only gonna blind you (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

You're just a mirage to me
No more than a fantasy
It's not about the tick, tick, ticking boxes
I know I'm never gonna find you
(Hoo-hoo-hoo)
