The Real Thing

[Verse 1]

I guess I've settled for half of what I need

You burned through me like wildfire

And there ain't nothing new to see

I've given half my life away wondering which direction's home

With a jagged piece of you somewhere

Stuck deep into my soul

[Chorus]

You know how it feels

Can't get no relief

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

The real thing

[Verse 2]

I guess I always thought that I'd have my second chances

The days are now so precious

The timeline keeps advancing

Just behind the door, I thought, were the answers to my questions

All I wanted was a clean break

But ended up here in a mess

[Chorus]

You know how it feels

To be brought to your knees

This couldn't be real

But the heartache, it feels like the real thing

The real thing

[Post-Chorus]

Always searching

Never finding

Always somewhere else

I think

[Pre-Chorus]

You know how it feels

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

[Chorus]

You know how it feels

Can't get no relief

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

The real thing

[Chorus]

You know how it feels

To be brought to your knees

This couldn't be real

But the heartache, it feels like the real thing

The real thing
