"THE REAL THING" lyrics

(What if it's never really meant to be)
(What if it's never really meant to be)

You know I'd never thought it'd be like this
I'm remenicin' 'bout you day and night
I'm tryna replay everything we had
And I don't know if I'ma be alright ('Right)

I thought the movies had it figured out
Oh, where's our happy-ever-after now?
I'm only happy as when you're around (So tell me now)

Yeah, if you loved, then you lost it
Was it ever really love if you were the real thing?
Wouldn't love just be enough?
'Cause what if the real thing's ever really meant to be—
What if the real thing's ever really meant for me, anyway?
Oh, how I loved you anyway
But now I'm thinkin' what if the real thing's ever really meant to be—
What if the real thing's ever really meant for me?

I always thought we'd make it all the way
But now I'm reminisce the early days
My bed still linger, in it your perfume
How do you expect me to get over you?

I thought the movies had it figured out
Oh, where's our happy-ever-after now?
I'm only happy as when you're around (So tell me now)

Yeah, if you loved, then you lost it
Was it ever really love if you were the real thing?
Wouldn't love just be enough?
'Cause what if the real thing's ever really meant to be—
What if the real thing's ever really meant for me, anyway?
Oh, how I loved you anyway
But now I'm thinkin' what if the real thing's ever really meant to be—
What if the real thing's ever really meant for me?

Anyway
Oh, I hate that I loved you
I love you, I love you, I love you anyway
Now I wonder what if the real thing's never meant for me
