Real Thing Lyrics

I just want to know the things you're thinking

I don't know what's real or not, can't read between the drinking

Do I let this sink in?

Is this bubble gonna pop while I'm still drifting

Between what I think I want and what I know is realistic

I start thinking smart but I know that my mind will find a way to twist it

My mind is dark and twisted

Made the same mistake before my god I hope I can resist it

Can't tell where the real thing lies

Tell me baby put me out of my mind

Are you in it am I wasting my time?

Yeah yeah yeah

Postponing all my problems 'case you need me

I know my fatal flaw is that I'm such a people pleaser

Please believe me

I'm not trying to be needy

But honestly is key for me the way you play you're making me uneasy

Daily I'm discreetly

Trying to find where you mind is at, can't trust the way you treat me

Tell me what you really need

I wish that I could step into your shoes and walk

You make it look so easy

Can't tell where the real thing lies

Tell me baby put me out of my mind

Are you in it am I wasting my time?

Yeah yeah yeah

Lay me down with those bedroom eyes

But keep me guessing with another disguise

So are you in this or just taking my time?

Yeah yeah yeah

Every time that I click send I see you read it...

Then I tell myself stories in my head so many times 'til I believe it

Practice how it falls apart

Dress rehearse a broken heart until I'm bleeding

Looking back on texts I wish I'd just deleted (Mmm)

And now I'm fluent in my feelings

Sat here wondering if anything you said to me had meaning

Was I company for keeping?

For lather-rinse-repeat-ing?

Holding me at night was cheaper than you turning up the heating

Can't tell where the real thing lies

Tell me baby put me out of my mind

Are you in it am I wasting my time?

Yeah yeah yeah

Got me dizzy and I don't know why

I tell myself you're just another guy

But you do something don't know how to describe

Yeah yeah yeah
