"It's Not Real" lyrics

"It's Not Real"

The first time I saw you with a smile on your face
I knew that I'd love you always
And now nothing could change my mind
I would never let you down
I wanted you badly, I wanted you fast
So I sighed all out slowly, a snake in the grass
And said something along the line
There could never be another one

You looked like an angel the first time we met
So how could I ever forget?
So lonely and fragile, you welcomed me into your heart
I've been here before but never like this
And I must explain how I feel
So listen carefully to me, it's not real

It's a load of old nonsense, a load of old tat
You've got to be stupid, believing all that
You must know that it can't be real
No matter what they say
If you just look around you, then surely you'll see
The world's full of people like you and like me
One taking just what they need
The other everything they can

So when you feel lonesome and when you feel tired
And when you're afraid of the dark
You show your emotions, I'll bulldoze straight into your heart
So say that you love it and say that you care
But don't say that you believe
Cos listen carefully to me, it's not real

I've got no regrets, I've got none to claim
But I know at the end of the day
If something's on offer, you're some kind of fool not to take it
So say that you love it and say that you care
But don't say that you believe
Cos listen carefully to me, it's not real
