Real Lyrics

She wrote her address on this card

Hoping I'd write while we're apart

Intentions sweet, but we both knew

Tomorrow held a different truth

Was this real?

I swear it cross my heart I'd die to heal

If we stuck this out

I'd be chained to your dreams and so I

I don't let people in at least not this way

But I wish I'd let you

I've been told

You need to spend some time alone

Get to know yourself before you meet somebody else

But don't they also say that on your dying day

You regret all the chances that you didn't take

You wish that you could

You wish that you could change

You wish that you could

So what am I to do if I

Met you one day too soon do I

Just play it safe, do what it takes

To find myself without you

Was this real?

I swear it cross my heart I'd die to heal

If we stuck this out

I'd be chained to your dreams and so I

I don't let people in at least not this way

But I wish I let you
