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 coolin' distance
It's easy playing hard to get
I'm just afraid to be a failure
A mistake you would regret

Love is just an illusion
We're only dreaming to make believe
It's a state of confusion
Just an illusion

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
Without you when you are not around

Love is just an illusion
We're only dreaming to make believe
It's a state of confusion
Just an illusion

Oh so real

(So strange)
(So strange)

(So strange)
(So strange)

I'm no 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

Love is just an illusion
We're only dreaming and make believe
It's a state of confusion
Just an illusion
Oh so real

Love is just an illusion
Just an illusion
Oh, so real
So real, so real
So real, so real

So real to me
