Ryan Adams - Sweet Illusions Lyrics
Let me go I'm only letting you down
I 've got nothing to say to you now
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down
When I'm safe
I'm not complicating anything
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
But I'll dream of you
Cause it's almost over
And it's almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Sweet confusion, honey
Sweet illusion coming down
You and I used to shine like a jewel
But times been nothing to us but cruel
So play it out and never played the fool
Cause you'll lose every time
We were nothing, we were only the past
Hard times like that don't last
I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed
By my heart
Have you?
Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
Love for you I can't use
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
That I can't resolve
You never knew me but I did my best
I'm just lonely inside I guess
You gave me everything you really tried
Thanks....
If we were nothing and we're only the past
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you
Where it's almost over
And we're almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

Classic !
Is there a female singer or am I just hearing an overdub of RA
Could be Ryan's masterpiece. Certainly the best song on this album. And probably his masterpiece, though I'm willing to entertain other candidates and suggestions.
Still one of my favourites 💗 2018
His songwriting has the power to melt your heart .
Why is this song so underrated.. he is an amazing singer and his songs ... ❤️
E um genio
I gotta say it....- im gonna say..... .. i hope your ready.......- but this album is even better than heartBreaker! ................. !11 ---- okay wheewwwww - good to get that of my chest..........---................. ohhh okay here it comes: the Backlash!!!!!!!!!.......... okay bring it ! tell me why its Not?
Masterpiece.
Poor Leona didn't go Beyoncé on him like she shold have Say my name Say my name
He has never once said Leona's name right ? Why ?
Took me years to understand this so Leona's Love or cheating was an illusion ... Sounds like counting crows hootie and the blowfish and soul asylum gorgeous song but a bit of a ramble
Why did he tell Leona they were nothing and they were only the past ?
Every word he got from Leona she said we were nothing we were the past Crazy she said that to him how awful
HE CAN TEAR YOUR HEART OUT.....WOWWW
DEANNA CRABTREE ..not meant to do it again, the song relives
Despair and surrender... staying with someone longer than you should. The damage continues and gets worse. The loneliness never fades. Despite the clarity of doom, it physically hurts to leave them. You never stopped loving them, you just had to try and love yourself again...
This song tears my heart up. You worded it great, love.
MusclesfromB thanks from experience
damn! you nailed it!
One of the best breakup songs of all time. Under rated
You and I used to shine like a jewel, but time's been nothing to us but cruel.
if there was a song i could have written..... this would be it.
