lyrics

Real

It’s like I’m in The Truman show
I’m the star of every scene
It doesn’t matter where I go
Every eye seems to be watching me

I guess I took a body blow
You could say that it’s an open wound
I don’t remember being laid so low
I didn’t think that you would go so soon

I knew this day was bound to come
Looks like there’s nowhere left to run

Cos it’s real so real
This pain that I feel
Yes it’s real, it’s real it’s real, it’s real
And it’s real so real
This pain that I feel
Yes it’s real, it’s real it’s real, it’s real

Amid the pauses and the clumsy words
Your gentle kindness washes over me
In all the lovely things that have occurred
Rooted deep within my memory

I wish I didn’t have to let you go
But Mother Mary whispers “Let It Be”
And I take comfort for deep down I know
That you’re forever watching over me

But it’s real so real
This pain that I feel
Yes it’s real, it’s real it’s real, it’s real
Yes it’s real so real
This pain that I feel
It’s real, it’s real it’s real, it’s real
