Lyrics
REAL
by Tommy Malta
Real - Truth - Reality - Truthfullness - Honesty
These words are like a ghost story - Horrify my love
Run away from life if you want
You can't stand in the light when you go
Down to the shadows - lay low
You wanted it to be real - You wanted it to be real
So I tried to feel - I wanted to be real
I scared my love away
Watch what you wish for
I might just give it to you
Real - Truth - Reality - Truthfullness - Honesty
These words are like a sword through your fantasy
If you believe - then you can hide away
There's a place where they can't yell at you in your head
But that's not what you said - You said you wanted real
But that's a lie - You hide from truth - and my love
Has turned to rage - in a cage
Can't take it out - Can't take it anywhere
I scared my love away
You wanted it to be real - you wanted it to be real
So I tried to feel - I wanted to be real
And it ain't coming back
