Story Behind The Song

In more than one relation, I thought that this was the one, and made myself believe it - just to find out that it was not the case, that I was victim to an illusion, wishful thinking...

Song Description

Lying to yourself is possibly the worst crime you can commit against intelligence, but all to easy

Lyrics

I lied to myself © Klaus Gehlhaar

I built myself a brand new home
The kind of place like the pope in Rome
Next day when I looked at it
it was just a dusty pile of bricks
my oh my, oh my oh my

I lied to myself, the truth was something else
Things I had seen were just wishful thinking
Blind from desire, all illusion

I bought myself a brand new car
Felt like all that some super star
next day when I looked at it
it was just a rusty pile of shit
My oh my, oh my oh my

I even went back to where I bought it
The man said: this is just how you bought it
So he came away clean, I had bought as seen

I lied to myself, the truth was something else
things I had seen were just wishful thinking
Blind from desire, all illusion

I built a bridge across the bay
to get to you night and day
Next day when I came for you
there was only water no bolt no screw
my oh my...

I lied to myself, the truth was something else
things I had seen were just wishful thinking
Blind from desire, all illusion
I lied to myself, you were someone else
The girl I had seen was just wishful thinking
blinded by love all illusion
blinded by love all illusion
