This I Know

People say, we got a lot to learn, that's okay
Complicate things when you're young
The man around the corner likes to roll his dice
Just for fun he says, "Take it easy, babe
He's not the only one"

And all the light starts to yellow and fade
See you in the middle and all the love we made
I'm your girl and you're my man
It's just an illusion, this I know

I been around the block once, twice, maybe more
Never met a hungry fool I couldn't learn to adore
Hopeless smiles and crooked eyes
Traded in for a heart full of lies
I won't tonight

And all the light starts to yellow and fade
See you in the middle and all the love we made
I'm your girl and you're my man
It's just an illusion, this I know

When you've been around easy street
Carry your nightmares, so you'll take the heat
Some are lonely so they'll fight your wars
You never ask for much, but you always want more

Searching for your love, needing your love
I want relief not defeat

Some people say, I've got a lot to learn
And nothing comes easy and nothing comes in between
I'm your girl and you're my man
I can see the whole world at your feet

People come together to build their whole lives
Nothing for nothing, I'll, can give you something
Sometimes, sometimes this illusion is all I know
