In Reality

If I take your time

Would you think that I'm

A little anxious for a friend

If I ask your name

Try to play that game

Would you be willing to pretend

'Cause in reality

This informality

Is really not my style

But I'll

Force my fears aside

Though they're justified

'Cause I'm too tired to be this strong

So if you say its alright

I'll share your candlelight

Even if it seems all wrong

But in reality

This technicality

Is really not important anyway

You could say

I never wanted you before

And honey you'd be well within your rights

To tell me where to put my care

But I'm not searching for a cure

So if you turn your back

I'll find somebody else

To whisper my despair to

But somehow I can't bear to

Leave this crowded room

So if I assume

That you'll be careful I'll be kind

And tie my hands behind my back

And hope you'll give me what I lack

'Cause I don't want to change my mind

But in reality

My personality

Just won't suit yours at all

So if you should ever call

I'll let the phone ring like I always do

And you'll be better off

If I brush you off

And you can say you always knew

But in reality

In actuality

This really is the best thing I can do

So it will never be

But in reality

I loved...
