I also how it starts out as a barbershop quartet

static crown

This was another song I wrote during those same emotionally turbulent high school years in the mid-1980s. If "Breakin' My Heart" was about the immediate shock of betrayal, "Shattered Illusions" dug deeper into the aftermath - that hollow feeling when you realize everything you believed about someone was built on lies.

The opening line "Midnight shadows, a phone that won't ring" perfectly captured those sleepless nights, waiting for someone who was never going to call. I remember writing that verse thinking about how naive I'd been, how I'd "built castles on empty words." The metaphor felt so real to me then - all those promises and dreams just crumbling down.

What I'm proud of in this song is the pre-chorus structure. Adding that extra emotional build before hitting the chorus made the impact stronger. "Shattering my world" felt like the perfect phrase to describe how completely someone could destroy your sense of reality when you're seventeen and think you know everything about love.

The bridge represents growth - moving from victim to survivor. "I'm done with your lies, done with the pain" shows that progression from hurt to empowerment that I was learning to navigate as a teenager. The outro ties it all together with "Your love was fiction, but I'll rise from this fall" - probably the most mature line I wrote at that age.

Like my other lyrics from that time, this sat dormant for decades until AI technology gave me the opportunity to finally hear these words with music. There's something magical about bringing teenage angst full circle with today's creative tools. The song now has that dramatic, emotional sound that matches the intensity I felt when I first wrote these words.

Lyrics:

She said come home
I said I'll break your heart
But that didn't stop us from getting in your car
Fumble your key into your lock
Not much later all our clothes are off
And this is all I wanted from the start

She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

We were good at love
But somehow it was not enough
Well it was just one time sorry it happened that way
Didn't think you were coming home that day
You're crying out while you're packing all your stuff

Ohhh
She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

My bed feels cold
And I'm all alone
And I can still smell you on your pillow
Focus on what I did wrong
I keep on playing that same sad song
And think about that love I used to know

I cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I cried oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
