Detonate this illusion
Wave a white flag, now I see
Capitulate, I surrender
Wave a white flag, when will I be free?
I never wanted to believe what you told me

I thought I knew best, I was so sure
All the doorways you held open for me I just said thanks
Thought I was too pure
All the time I wasted gone
I can see it now, I can see it now

Detonate this illusion
Wave a white flag, now I see
Capitulate, I surrender
Wave a white flag 'til I'm free

Detonate this illusion
Detonate this feeling inside
Capitulate, I surrender
Wave a white flag, when will I be free?

Life goes in cycles of highs and lows that's only something that time can show
I've been up and now I'm down but I'm hoping we could rebound
O.K. here it is, I'm sorry I made mistakes, I'm not the only one
I broke it down, can we build it back again, can we build it back again?

Detonate this illusion
Wave a white flag, now I see
Capitulate, I surrender
Wave a white flag, when will I be free?
It's an illusion

Detonate this feeling inside
It's an illusion
Wave a white flag now I'm free
Wave a white flag now I'm free
Detonate this feeling inside me
