[Verse 1] Walking along, in the shadows of doubt, Unable to breathe, unable to think, Wondering what life’s all about As my heart, slowly, begins to sink An ache that hits my chest with clout, Makes me feel like I need a drink, Emotions flood, but there’s a Reason drought. The pain pushes me on, towards the brink. [Pre-chorus] I don’t know what I’m thinking, I just want to be numb, Will I resort to drinking? I think that, that’s probably dumb… [Chorus] But tell me; was it real? Confirm, what it was to you… Cos, I don’t know the deal What was it, that made us through? Reveal to me the truth Or… simply tell me how… How I, can find the proof… That you ever loved me, now! LET ME KNOW, IF YOU EVEN FEEL, DID YOU EVER!? WAS IT REAL!? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] I’ve gone back through the things I said, Tried to see it all through your eyes. Did I miss the signs you left unread? Or was I just too slow to realise? I thought I was walking where your map led, But maybe we lived under different skies. Now I sit with words, that I never said, And wonder which of yours were the lies. [Pre-chorus] I don’t know what I’m thinking, I just want to be numb, Will I resort to drinking? I think that, that’s probably dumb… [Chorus] But tell me; was it real? Confirm, what it was to you… Cos, I don’t know the deal What was it, that made us through? Reveal to me the truth Or… simply tell me how… How I, can find the proof… That you ever loved me, now! LET ME KNOW, IF YOU EVEN FEEL, DID YOU EVER!? WAS IT REAL!? [Musical Interlude} [Verse 3] No, I won’t break just 'cause you let go, I’ve been bruised, but I’m still intact. You took your shot; I let you throw, But now you fade into my past. I’ve felt the chill, the undertow, Yet here I stand, not looking back. Whatever I was, I’ve outgrown And no longer wonder what I lacked. [Breakdown] Was it real!? ...It doesn't even matter now! Was it real!? ...It all seems irrelevant, somehow! Was it real!? ...Don't answer, because I don't need to know... [Final Chorus – Reprise] Don’t tell me it was real, I’ve made my peace with not knowing. Your love no longer appeals, I'm moving on, and I'm growing. I’ve found my own truth, No longer chasing how… No longer need the proof That it’s really over now. JUST SO YOU KNOW! IT WAS REAL FOR ME! AND I HAVE GROWN... ...I hope you're happy...
