Burst your bubble 

To burst someone's bubble is to reveal something to them that they were unaware or ignorant of, often in the form of bad news. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be something negative (see example 2).
Example 1: Sorry to burst your bubble, but your "perfect" girlfriend is cheating on you with Dave.

Example 2: Sorry to burst your bubble, but pearls are not formed from compressed coal. You're thinking of diamonds.
