Key
Verse 1:
Create a place through shapes and shades
Build a blinding stage where beauty is made
But when your colors fade
Everything will change
I m trying hard to imagine better
Daydream him, I ll wait forever
I ll pray that our paths blur
together...
It might not be true
But it s the best I can do
It s only to keep a little piece of you
I can t keep it inside
I ll have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn t live without
And I m pouring my heart, and I m spilling my soul
And I m taking a breath, and he s giving his all
And I wanna walk out from the trouble I m in
Cause I m really not sure where to begin
Pre-Chorus:
And to fake it, it will make it better
Better than it was before
Lies could bring us close together
So I won t be lonely no more
Pretending it doesn t matter
Could help me pass the time
Make believe he ll hide forever
Chorus:
This is real life
This is real life
This is real life
This is real life
It s time to see the real life
Verse 2:
Paint your world full of tones
Write the story so you know how it goes
But my heart s alone till he comes home
He ll make a decision, he ll have no choice
And I ll hold him close, he ll hear my voice
And I ll pray we re together forever
Take a deep breath, go for a walk
Wish you were here cause we ve got to talk
I can t keep it inside
I have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn t live without
And I m pouring my heart, and I m spilling my soul
And I m gasping for air cause he s giving it all
And he wants to wake up from the dream he s been in
And start it all over so we can repeat
Pre-Chorus:
Because faking it will make it better
Better than it was before
Lies could bring us close together
So I won t be lonely no more
Pretending it doesn t matter
Could help me pass the time
Make believe he ll hide forever
This is real life
Chorus:
(I m just trying to survive)
(Everyday and night in real life)
(Taking one step at a time)
(Make believe ain t real)
It s time to see
Bridge:
While he s taking the steps and he s making a stand
He s pulling down walls and doing all that he can
He s through with black and white and drawing the lines
Between make believe and real life
Chorus:
(I m just trying to survive)
(Everyday and night in real life)
(Taking one step at a time)
(Make believe ain t real)
My real dreams and real love
Believe the things that you can t touch
This make believe is not enough
It s time to see the real life
