Lyrics of Just an Illusion by Julia Zahra
Iā²ve been told 'bout living like a star
Hotel Rich, champagne and caviar
But no one ever showed me the reverse
And that really hurts, baby, it really hurts
They try to sell your body and your soul
Itā²s the price you pay for rock 'n' roll
And no one understands it, how you feel
For itā²s so unreal, oh, itā²s so unreal
Baby, don't you cry for me
Itā²s an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what like should be
It's an illusion, just an illusion
When critics crucify your latest show
Another drink and then you lose control
But then on stage I feel a fire burn
There is no return, Iā²m always on the run
I give it to you, babe, with all my heart
For it's not too late, oh, itā²s not too late
Baby don't you cry for me
It's an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what life should be
Itā²s an illusion, just an illusion
Baby donā²t you cry for me
It's an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what life should be
Itā²s an illusion, just an illusion
