make it real

[Verse 1]

I don't deserve love, do I deserve to hurt so much at night?

Will I ever be enough? Will I ever feel good about my life?

I could open up and tell you how I feel

But I can't 'cause that would make it real

[Chorus]

That would make it real

That would make it real

[Verse 2]

I'm drowning in the flood, anything but numb and painted white

I'm tryna find a way to finally feel okay, to feel alright

I could sober up and maybe start to heal

But I don't 'cause that would make it real

[Chorus]

That would make it real

That would make it real

I keep my heart locked up tight

And hide the pain behind these eyes

'Cause I don't wanna make it real

[Bridge]

Baby, I'm so tired of this self-inflicted hell

I could sober up and maybe I could learn to love myself

And heal

But I'm scared

[Chorus]

That would make it real

That would make it real

Is a good place to start

The broken pieces of my heart?

'Cause I guess it's time to make it real
