The Real Thing

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.

The phone rings,

it's your voice.

You said how,

there's no choice.

You're too cool, and I tour too much

How could this work, we don't keep in touch.

With every line I write, I'm one closer to leaving

Forever was a joke, the joke was I believed it.

Alone, leave me alone.

Run.

Run from this world without me.

No streets left for us to sleep.

The doorstep where I'll leave my key.

I guess this is just goodbye...

Whoa, Run from this world without me.

Whoa, no streets left for us to sleep.

Whoa, The doorstep where I'll leave my key.

I guess this is just goodbye.

Would it hurt less if I

Learn how to deal with goodbye.

You're out late, and I never call,

What's left to say, smiles said it all.

My heart was so calloused,

I couldn't even feel it,

Your lies were so careless,

How could I have believed it? No.

Leave me alone.

Run.

Run from this world without me.

No streets left for us to sleep.

The doorstep where I'll leave my key.

I guess this is just goodbye...

Whoa, Run from this world without me.

Whoa, no streets left for us to sleep.

Whoa, The doorstep where I'll leave my key.

I guess this is just goodbye.

(GOODBYE!)

Run. Run from this world without me.

No streets left for us to sleep.

The doorstep where I'll leave my key.

I guess this is just goodbye...

Whoa, Run from this world without me.

Whoa, no streets left for us to sleep.

Whoa, The doorstep where I'll leave my key.

I guess this is just goodbye
