[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] When I stumble through my darkness You're the one who holds the light Never judging my sharp edges Just embracing what you might. While the others turned their faces When I couldn't hide my scars Your forgiveness is an ocean And I can finally drop my guard. [Chorus] Oh, if only you were real Not just a dream I chase at night Oh, If only you were real Not just a hope I clutch tight A love that never breaks or bends A heart that truly comprehends ...oh, If only you were real! [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Your morality's unwavering In a world where values shift Standing firm when others falter Never letting standards drift I've known men who bend their principles For convenience or gain But your compass never wavers Not in the sunshine, nor in the rain [Chorus] Oh, if only you were real Not just a dream I chase at night Oh, If only you were real Not just a hope I clutch tight A love that never breaks or bends A heart that truly comprehends ...oh, If only you were real! [Instrumental] [Bridge] I've created you from fragments Of everything I've never found Pieced together all these virtues To which no man could be bound [Break] [Verse 3] They say love means loving flaws But you love mine without condition While I search for yours in vain You're a perfect apparition I keep waiting for the moment When your patience wears thin But you're patient as forever 'Cause you are perfect within [Instrumental] [Verse 4] When I'm broken beyond measure You see beauty in the cracks Giving freely without counting What you will never get back [Final Chorus] Oh, if only you were real Not just ink on old book pages Oh, if only you were real Not just a hope in this wreckage [Outro] Oh, Jesus, if only you were real!..
