Real

(This is another quick one-take recording I did with my piano before leaving for a trip.)

Through this song I tried to look with more honesty, but also with some humor, at my immature (or unhealed?) behaviors in earlier relationships.


Lyrics:

Virtual tears are just as real
Conjuring a mannequin to cry for me
Am I supposed to mourn what I shouldn't want to lose
Am I allowed to enjoy being able to break the rules

So I fell in love again, and this time it's for real
As if no other time was nothing I could feel
(but I did, I still do)

I would pack my things and leave them to feed my hungry heart
It would seem that the only food it accepted was a brand new start
(after start after start after start)

Let's go
Let if flow
Let go
And I will too
Don't go
Please don't
let go
Or I will too

Cry it all out, for crying out loud
I feel their judging eyes burning dry
Frozen in place, or floating in space
What's the difference anyway, I'm losing face

So I fell out of love again and this time it's for real
This time I'll be alone and take my time to heal
(with someone new, just not you)

No, I swear, I'll just stay at home and focus on my career
I will get my shit together and learn to tell what is real
(nothing's real, it's all real)

Let's go
Let it flow
Let go
And I will too
Don't go
Please don't
let go
Or I will too
