[Verse 1] You say you want something real Then you play with a heart like a toy Turn a good woman cold in a minute Make her doubt every bit of her joy We been driving that road to and from hell Sleeping in cars Living out of a bag So don’t talk like you built what you’re breaking We survived way worse than your red flags [Chorus] I want something that’s real Real Not another pretty lie you sell If I choose you It’s ’cause I want you I can make it in this world myself I want something that’s real Real Not another story you tell I’ve been walking that road That road To and from hell [Verse 2] Stop playing games with people’s hearts That’s the kind of hurt that never leaves Good women start locking up the soft parts Tell themselves love is just a thief I can breathe I can build I can blossom I can pay my own bills I’m blessed I don’t need a hand just to stand up I need someone who won’t tear at my chest [Chorus] I want something that’s real Real Not another pretty lie you sell If I choose you It’s ’cause I want you I can make it in this world myself I want something that’s real Real Not another story you tell I’ve been walking that road That road To and from hell [Bridge] We have lived on the edge and the ashes We have cried on the side of the highway So if I let you in Understand this You don’t get to treat my love like a game (hey) [Chorus] I want something that’s real Real Not another pretty lie you sell If I choose you It’s ’cause I want you I can make it in this world myself I want something that’s real Real Not another story you tell I’ve been walking that road That road To and from hell
