[Intro: All]
Tell me you believe in love
It's not an illusion

[Verse 1: Liam]
I've been thinking about the nights and the dangerous tricks
People play on the eyes of the innocent
I can turn a lot of hearts into breaks
With smoke and mirrors disappearing right in front of them

[Pre-Chorus 1: Harry]
But believe me, I'm not trying to deceive you
I promise falling for me won't be a mistake

[Chorus: Zayn]
No baby, this is not an illusion
I've really got my heart out on my sleeve
Oh, baby, this is not an illusion
There's magic between you and me
No baby, this is not an illusion
You really got me lifted on my feet
So tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion to me

[Verse 2: Liam]
You don't ever have to worry 'bout me
'Bout how the cards fall, I'm all that you need tonight
I would never turn your heart into broken parts
You don't have to think twice looking in my eyes

[Pre-Chorus 2: Louis]
Can't you see it? I'm not trying to mislead you
I promise falling for me won't be a mistake

[Chorus: Zayn, Zayn & Harry]
No baby, this is not an illusion
I've really got my heart out on my sleeve
Oh, baby, this is not an illusion (Illusion)
There's magic between you and me
No baby, this is not an illusion
You really got me lifted on my feet
So tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion to me

[Bridge: Niall]
You can tie me up in chains, you can throw away the key
But there's no trap doors, I'm not gonna leave
You're the truth I can't explain, you're the only one I see
It's not an illusion to me

[Chorus: All & Zayn]
No baby, this is not an illusion
I've really got my heart out on my sleeve
Oh, baby, this is not an illusion (This is not an illusion)
There's magic between you and me
No baby, this is not an illusion (This is not an illusion, yeah)
You really got me lifted on my feet (Really got me lifted off my feet)
So tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion to me (Believe in love)
So tell me you believe in love
'Cause it's not an illusion (Illusion, illusion)

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
