"The Real Deal" lyrics

The Deslondes, Sam Doores & Riley Downing Lyrics

"The Real Deal"

I guess that I don't care and I look good to you
Everybody done try to tell me we's through
But I don't really know 'cause you never woulda told me
Well, the night before you left, I could tell and I could see
You really did not want to hold me
So I just faced the wall and tried to imagine

The words you should have written
In those letters that you wrote
Telling me that everything was fine
I'd given both my legs
And what's left of my heart
Just for the real deal this time

I know that I've been here and you've been there
Please don't tell me that I don't care
I'm just trying to keep it all together
You pulled the wool right over my eyes
Guess I should not act surprised
I'll keep holding tight for better weather

The words you should have written
In those letters that you wrote
Telling me that everything was fine
I'd given both my legs
And what's left of my heart
Just for the real deal this time
