Tell me the real reason you are here
Inviting me down to have this beer
I’ve seen before this act you play
In other girls who came my way
Is this the same where you pretend
And leads right to some dreadful end
Or is this a glimpse of what is real
The thing you can’t see, touch, or feel
For a time I’ll dream it’s true
When I have those thoughts of you
But when reality sets in
And I think of things that could have been
I’ll keep my strength in heart and mind
When you walk away and aren’t so kind
The love I saw was not for me
So I opened my hand and set it free
That is the burden of this place
What is real is what we chase
Until someone rejects the gift
For a lighter load that they can lift
Then only later come to find
The way the weight it was designed
An easy life that seemed so nice
Meaning is where they paid the price
As I stand afar and long for more
Hoping you’ll be waiting at my door
And maybe I can say at last
The love is real and everlast
