SO REAL

Heartbreak the first

Comes to me in bursts

You danced with him whilst I could see you

Although it hurts

Tears are not enough

To dissolve all the pain I'm feeling

 

Must not much have mattered must I?

Moving forwards

Did not take long to pass me by

Moving onwards

 

What am I supposed to do?

When the only good thing about me, was you

What I am supposed to feel?

As you kept the only part of me

That was real

So real

 

I'll bet you'll claim

To him I was insane

Too much like a girl I bored you

Release a dove

Let grace into your world

Be still your wicked tongue I loved you

Once before our cracks did show

I know I pleased you

But now my baby's got new slang

And a taste for strangers

 

What am I supposed to do?

When the only good thing about me, was you

What I am supposed to feel?

As you kept the only part of me

That was real

So real

So real

 

It's got to be real

It's got to be real, oh
