Bella Poarch introduced this song to the public via TikTok, where she confirmed “it’s about knowing that the person you love will never stay, so you blind yourself from the reality”
[Intro]
(Ooh)
[Verse 1]
It's the way you say you're such a gentleman
It's the time you take to give me compliments
It's love, it's love, it's the beginning (It's the beginning, uh)
When the sun comes up, I hear the dissonance
Red alert, alarm, but I'm not listenin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Sweet delusion
Forever all-consuming
[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]

'Cause reality is inevitable
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Sweet delusion
Forever all-consuming
[Chorus]
It's a fantasy, better than being alone
Keep me company, don't you ever let go
Lose my sanity and get lost in the smoke
'Cause reality is inevitable
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
