Real Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish that life was like it is in the movies
'Cause the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road
At the end he´s got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to the lions
Noone saved me as I fell from your grace
And noone wrote me new lines
For what I said wrong
What I did wrong I could not erase
This is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
That I can't hide
I wish that I could be a white knight in armour
With an army just to bring you back home
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number
Someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can't it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me
This is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
I can't hide
This is real life
This is real love
These are real wounds I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
I always thought that our love
Was a story book tale
God knows that I'd never dream
In the end it could fail
'Cause this is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
That I can't hide
This is real life
This is real love
These are real wounds I´m bleeding from
And I realize this is real
