Was it real?
[INTRO] If it was real, why'd you leave,,/ Why'd you run, what did you see,/ Was it something that you needed that you could not get from me,/ If it was real, why'd you go,/ Why'd you walk out of our home,/ That we were building hand in hand, I just really need to know./ If it was real? just tell me,/ Since you left I'm losing sleep,/ I can't keep staying up at night, with your memories on repeat./ Was it real? It was for me,/ Maybe you just didn't see,/ That I was giving you my all, till you had every little piece,/ [BREAK} [VERSE] I love you, I do, but we can't continue on like this,/ I keep shooting my best shot, you move the goal so I miss,/ I land amongst the stars, when I'm trying to reach the moon,/ To bring it down to earth to show you that it don't compare to you,/ You are the one, the only, the last love that I need,/ You were my wife, my best friend, but then you chose to leave,/ You felt like the love I offered felt too good to be true,/ I realize now the only thing too good to be true was me and you,/ You started with matching my vibe, and meeting my energy,/ Showing up Every time, a love built on synergy,/ Two peas in a pod, it felt like we were meant to be,/ We started to feel crowded, cuz you let 2 become 3/ [BREAK} [BRIDGE] Your eyes wandered off from mine, your hand loosened its grip,/ I felt you letting go, I felt you starting to slip,/ I tried to catch you while you fell, but you slipped between the cracks,/. Now I'm left with the pieces, of what we once had...../ [BREAK} [PRE-CHORUS] Confusion’s a storm that don’t clear overnight,/ It clouds up your vision, blurs wrong from right,/ Forgiveness is given, but trust has a cost,/ You can’t earn it back if you don’t count the loss,/ This ain’t over yet, but it’s breaking apart,/ We can’t hit restart if you don’t play your part,/ If we’re gonna rebuild, we gotta face what we sparked,/ Cause love don’t survive if it’s left in the dark..../ [BREAK} [LAYEREDHOOK] If it was real, why'd you leave,,/ Why'd you run, what did you see,/ Was it something that you needed that you could not get from me,/ If it was real, why'd you go,/ Why'd you walk out of our home,/ That we were building hand in hand, I just really need to know./ If it was real? just tell me,/ Since you left I'm losing sleep,/ I can't keep staying up at night, with your memories on repeat./ Was it real? It was for me,/ Maybe you just didn't see,/ That I was giving you my all, till you had every little piece,/ [BREAK} [VERSE 2] Now your just a shadow,/ That used to fill my bed,/ Replaying every "always" and "forever"./ That you said./ You traded in our quiet nights,/ For the noise of someone new,/ Now I’m overanalyzing every,/ "I, love you" from you./ Was it a script you practiced?,/ Or a role you chose to play?/ You packed up our whole lifetime,/ In the span of just a day./ I’m still standing at the altar,/ Of the church that you burned down,/ Wear a smile for the public./ While I silently drown./ You said you needed space,/ You just needed a head start,/ To distance your conscience,/ From the shrapnel of my heart./ Now the silence is a symphony,/ But the melody is cold,/ I’m holding onto all the stories,/ The stories that you told./ I used to be your anchor,/ Now I’m just an anchor weight,/ Dragging behind a ship,/ That decided not to wait./ You found a different harbor./ You chose a different shore,/ And left me wondering,/ What the hell I was fighting for./ [BREAK} [SLOW ETHEREALBRIDGE] Maybe "real" is just a word that you use to get your way,/ A temporary high until the colors start to gray./ I was building a foundation, you were planning an escape,/ Leaving me to sink in to the distance and the shape / Of the hole you left inside me, of the life we didn't get,/ Are you happy with the choice? Do you even feel regret?/ Or am I just a chapter that you’re happy that you closed?/ While I’m still bleeding out from the actions that you chose....../ [BREAK} [LAYERED HOOK] If it was real, why'd you leave,,/ Why'd you run, what did you see,/ Was it something that you needed that you could not get from me,/ If it was real, why'd you go,/ Why'd you walk out of our home,/ That we were building hand in hand, I just really need to know./ If it was real? just tell me,/ Since you left I'm losing sleep,/ I can't keep staying up at night, with your memories on repeat./ Was it real? It was for me,/ Maybe you just didn't see,/ That I was giving you my all, till you had every little piece,/ [OUTRO] Confusion’s a storm that don’t clear overnight,/ It clouds up your vision, blurs wrong from right,/ Forgiveness is given, but trust has a cost,/ You can’t earn it back if you don’t count the loss,/ This ain’t over yet, but it’s breaking apart,/ We can’t hit restart if you don’t play your part,/ If we’re gonna rebuild, we gotta face what we sparked,/ Cause love don’t survive if it’s left in the dark./
