Lyrics:

Spoiler

Tryin' to get control
Pressure's takin' its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong
Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
You were a perfect illusion

I don't need eyes to see
I felt you touchin' me
High like amphetamine
Maybe you're just a dream
That's what it means to crush
Now that I'm wakin' up
I still feel the blow
But at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)

(Where are you?
Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion
(But I feel you watchin' me
Dilated, falling free
In a modern ecstasy)

(Where are you?
Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion
(But I feel you watchin' me
But I feel you watchin' me)
Illusion
(But I feel you watchin' me)
Mistaken for love
(Where were you
Cause I can't see
But I feel you watchin' me)
Mistaken for love
(Dilated, falling free
In a modern ecstasy)
Mistaken for love
(In a modern ecstasy
In a modern ecstasy)

I'm over the show
Yeah at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Ohhhh
You were a perfect illusion
Ohhhh
It was a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
It was a perfect illusion, (illusion) (illusion)
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
You were so perfect
You were a, you were a perfect illusion

Don't let this thread die 

[Mythos 3,178]

Personally i don't think that PI should've been on the album in the first place. It just gives a whole different vibe then the rest of the songs. 

[Red 79,530]

It's the best song in the album and the haters can seethe 

[popfart 713]

I love this, i love all of gagas lead singles they remind me of the hype before the album 

[bowie1986 178]

Not to be a **** but I'm only halfway thru dancing circles into the album, and so confused as to how Perfect Illusion or Million Reasons were the first two to be released

[bowie1986 178]

I think it fits in on the album... but lead single? Much more baffled by Million Reasons but still.

[Voltaire 4,531]

The hook, "Girl, where do you think you're going" etc, is the best singular moment on the album. I absolutely love it. 

 

Edit: lol

A bop. Yall do it wrong. The key change is one of my favorite parts of any Gaga song ever recorded tbh. Gives me life and ive been feeling the whole song since it was premiered. Stream/buy it 20 times if you haven't already done so. thx
