I’m not afraid to say I love you
I’m not afraid to say that I really do
I’m just afraid that I might lose you
when you see me straight through

so I keep my cool and distance
it’s easy playing hard to get
I’m just afraid to be a failure
a mistake you’d regret

Now love is just an illusion
we’re only dreaming and make believe
it’s a state of confusion, just an illusion, oh so real...

I’m not afraid to be your hero
I’m not afraid to be your clown
I’m just afraid of what I will be
withouth you when you’re not around

now love is just an illusion
we’re only dreaming and make believe
it’s a state of confusion, just an illusion, oh so real to me...

[so strange, so strange]

I’m not afraid to be your lover
I’m not afraid to be your man
I’m just afraid to lose my covers
for you to see how lost I am

now love is just an illusion [so strange, so strange]
we’re only dreaming and make believe [so strange, so strange]
it’s a state of confusion, just an illusion, oh so real...
so real, so real, so real so real to me
