Something Real Lyrics

Once again it's Christmas time

And the world resumes the drill

Tried to stoke the same old magic

But I can't feel the thrill

Things have changed it's all so different

How am I to cope

Caught in memories so gilded

Times of joy and hope

But we get older

Winter gets colder

Things don't remain the same

It's only natural

Old homes are long gone

Loved ones who pass on

Nothing feels the same now

But I'm not gonna let it destroy

The joy that I keep in my soul

Yeah it hurts when things change

But I'm choosing to focus on what I control

So I'll give it my all don't you judge me

I am making the choice to be happy

So I'll do what I need even fake it

If that's what it takes to feel something

So I'm going through the motions

The tinsel and the snow

Anything to grab that feeling

That I used to know

You can think it childish of me

Overboard with lights

All the corny decorations and

Carols warm and bright

Sure we are older

But now we're bolder

Things can't remain the same

It's only natural

New homes we're making

Steps we are taking

To forge something brand new

Yeah I'm not gonna let it destroy

The joy that I keep in my soul

Sure it hurts when things change

But I'm choosing to focus on what I control

So I'll give it my all don't you judge me

I am making the choice to be happy

So I'll do what I need even fake it

If that's what it takes to feel something

And so little bit by bit

I'm reclaiming it

The joy in my spirit

I know things can't stay the same

No one is to blame

Life goes on and

I'll keep trying to make something new

If I can do it well then so can you

So can you

Yeah we're not gonna let it destroy

The joy that we keep our soul

Sure it hurts when things change

But we're choosing to focus on what we control

So we'll give it our all don't you judge us

We are making the choice to be joyous

So we'll do what we need even fake it

If that's what it takes to feel

Something real
