Lyrics

Real

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 think it's time that we move ahead

To the place we never wanted to go

There's no sense in looking back

Let the final credits roll

I could never live up to

The man that's in your head

You want the guy from the notebook

But you got me instead

But you'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never said I was perfect

Who the hell wants perfect anyway?

Sometimes I really fuck up

But baby I learn from my mistakes

And I don't know what I'm supposed to be

All that I ever am is me

And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal

I'm just trying to be real, real, real

I'm just trying to be real, real, real

I never was the hip kid

I always use words like hip

Judas Priest on my walkman

When culture club was the shit (I tumble for you)

I drive a '91 volvo

The a/c still works fine

I'm happy with my miller lite

While everyone's drinking wine

'Cause it's less spilling, it tastes great

I never said I was perfect

Who the hell wants perfect anyway?

Sometimes I really fuck up

But baby I learn from my mistakes

And I don't know what I'm supposed to be

All that I ever am is me

And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal

I'm just trying to be real, real, real

I'm just trying to be real, real, real

You can have your gluten free pizza, I've got Taco Bell

You can try your best to change me

I just gotta be myself

I never said I was perfect

Who the hell wants perfect anyway?

Sometimes I really fuck up

Baby I learn from my mistakes

And I don't know what I'm supposed to be

All that I ever am is me

And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal

(Never gonna change)

I never said I was perfect

Who the hell wants perfect anyway?

Sometimes I really fuck up

But baby I learn from my mistakes

And I don't know what I'm supposed to be

All that I ever am is me

And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal

I'm just trying to be real, real, real

I'm just trying to be real, real, real
