Lady Gaga's Taking A Break From Music For A Bit

We'll need to wait a while for the 'Joanne' follow-up but she's got some other tricks up her sleeve...

Mondays are never exceptionally fun but Lady Gaga has made this Monday especially tough!

The 'Perfect Illusion' star held a press conference for her upcoming Netflix documentary over the weekend and revealed she is planning to take a 'rest' from music when she finishes up the Joanne World Tour in December.

It's been a crazy 12 months for the singer, who has released her fourth album, performed the Super Bowl halftime show, filmed a movie, started a world tour and made a documentary, so we don't blame her for just wanting some time out.

View the lyrics
Trying to get control
Pressure's taking its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong

Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Oh, you were a perfect illusion

I don't need eyes to see
I felt you touching me
High like amphetamine
Maybe you're just a dream
That's what it means to crush
Now that I'm waking up

I still feel the blow
But at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (But I feel you watching me)
(Dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy)
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (But I feel you watching me)
(But I feel you watching me)
Illusion (But I feel you watching me)

Mistaken for love
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
(But I feel you watching me)
Mistaken for love (Dilated, falling free)
(In a modern ecstasy) Mistaken for love
(In a modern ecstasy)
(In a modern ecstasy)

I'm over the show
Yeah, at least now I know

It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)

Oh, you were a perfect illusion
Oh, it was a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
It was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
You were so perfect
You were a, you were a perfect illusion

Speaking to reporters at the premiere of Gaga: Five Foot Two, she said she's going to take a break to "slow down for a moment for some healing."

The news might shock some fans after the singer told Entertainment Weekly just two weeks ago that she had started working on a new album already, although maybe this means she'll drop new songs promo-free à la Drake or like she did with her one-off single 'The Cure' earlier this year.

It's hard to tell right now but it's clear that Gaga has a plan, as she also said "It doesn't mean I don't have some things up my sleeve." What does it all mean?!

Lady Gaga's documentary will premiere on Netflix on September 22, while she brings the Joanne World Tour to the UK in early October for five shows.

Let's hope the break doesn't last too long...

View the lyrics
You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons

If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather

I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But, baby, I just need one good one to stay

Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons

And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Giving me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather

I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But, baby, I just need one good one to stay

Oh, baby, I'm bleeding, bleeding, ey...
Can't you give me what I'm needing, needing?

Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But, baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one

When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather

I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But, baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay
