The Real Thing

by Emma Forman

/
1.
I used to think that love was the easiest game to play You could find it in any bar or nightclub night or day Just find somebody who catches your eye Then say the right words at the right time But lately things are changing I don't feel that way But lately things are changing I can't get you out out my mind I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want your love We all build these walls to protect our precious little hearts We all say things we don't mean to drive us apart We all play Russian Roulette with words and our hearts We all play Russian Roulette with words and our hearts I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want your love I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want true love I want the real thing I want your love

This is not a love song so don't get any ideas You've not heard from me for how many years? It took me so long for my heart to stop aching What you do with hearts is some special kinda art You rip them apart You rip them apart so get that goofy look off your face cos we are not friends Don't dare to embrace me we are nowhere near there We are not friends I deleted your number from my phone So I didn't have the temptation to call I blocked you on facebook again Cos I didn't want to see what you had to say I deleted your number from my phone So I didn't have the temptation to call I blocked you on facebook again Cos I didn't want to see what you had to say so get that goofy look off your face cos we are not friends Don't dare to embrace me we are nowhere near there We are not friends I don't really think any words cut it I don't really think you grasp it How deeply hurt I was So careful what you say next I deleted your number from my phone So I didn't have the temptation to call I blocked you on facebook again Cos I didn't want to see what you had to say I deleted your number from my phone So I didn't have the temptation to call I blocked you on facebook again Cos I didn't want to see what you had to say so get that goofy look off your face cos we are not friends Don't dare to embrace me we are nowhere near there We are not friends so get that goofy look off your face cos we are not friends Don't dare to embrace me we are nowhere near there We are not friends We are not friends We are not friends We are not friends We are not friends We are not friends We are not friends We are not friends

Far Too Deep 03:01
She's such a pretty face but such a shame she is just a cheap whore Just cheap whore Playing with your heart like a stack of cards Wear it like a crown Wear it like a crown I want it so I must have it If it breaks me that's force of habit Love is dangerous You need a safety net And a bulletproof vest just to be sure you can brace for the impact Brace for the impact 1234 1234 Brace for the impact Brace for the impact 1234 1234 I got no dignity I got no sense of me I'm in far too deep I'm in far too deep I got no dignity I got no sense of me I'm in far too deep I'm in far too deep Wooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah I got no dignity I got no sense of me I'm in far too deep I'm in far too deep Someone like you couldn't settle down with someone like me You're always fooling around What good is a dream that far fetched? There is no comfort in that When I turn my back I know you're fooling me But when I look in your eyes I'm on my knees I got no dignity I got no sense of me I'm in far too deep I'm in far too deep I got no dignity I got no sense of me I'm in far too deep I'm in far too deep I got no dignity I got no sense of me I'm in far too deep I'm in far too deep Wooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah Whooah wooah wooah

It's just another day at the office You drown your sorrows inside your coffee cup but they keep resurfacing don't they? It feels like you're the only person in the room but you are surrounded by people who feel the way you do You just don't see it All the harsh words that were spoken ring in your ears Your heart is broken You feel so alone but around the world it's the same story You're not alone You win some You lose some You gotta love like it's your last chance You gotta grab life with both hands You win some You lose some You gotta love like it's your last chance You gotta grab life with both hands Does your office chair feel like a prison cell? I guess it's that time of the day where you just wanna be home right now, right now Technology starts to fail The printer seems to have a mind of it's own it's out for revenge, revenge You can't wait for 5 o'clock You try with the power of your mind to move the time on but nothing seems to work You win some You lose some You gotta love like it's your last chance You gotta grab life with both hands You win some You lose some You gotta love like it's your last chance You gotta grab life with both hands

Does the sentence start it's with a heavy heart? Does the sentence contain an exclamation mark? What exactly are you trying to say? I know there is something you are trying hard to spit out? I know you have been trying but the words just won't come out I know you're tripping on your words and falling down I know it needs to be said, said out loud I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade Cos I can see it in you eyes you kinda feel betrayed I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade Cos I can see it in your eyes that you're not in love with me Oh it is such an indignity Oh is this something I really need to hear? If I close my eyes will it go away? Or is it behaviour like that caused all the pain? I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade Cos I can see it in you eyes you kinda feel betrayed I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade Cos I can see it in your eyes that you're not in love with me I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade Cos I can see it in you eyes you kinda feel betrayed I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade Cos I can see it in your eyes that you're not in love with me I don't make the grade

Are you the one with the tear stained eyes or are you the one with the great big smile? Are you the honest one or the liar? Are you the pussy cat or the lion? Who broke who's heart doesn't matter It just wasn't meant to be Accept and believe the right one is out there somewhere There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you Hush now, don't cry It's just life Isn't love a beautiful thing when it goes right Your soul mate is out there True love awaits You just gotta hang on a little longer You just gotta hang on a little longer You just gotta hang on a little longer You just gotta hang on There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you I'll tell you a secret if you like You ain't alone You ain't alone There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there for you There will be somebody out there

Khaleesi 02:57
I wanna be clear where I stand Cos I would do anything at your command You are the captain I'll be your hand It's like the Game of Thrones trying to win you back I just need a little time I could change your mind I just need a little time I could make you mine I could make you mine I could make you mine I could make you mine again What do you really want from life?

I tried to tell you how I felt But no poetry exists that sums it up beautifully enough I tried to show you how deeply I felt but maybe I went about it the wrong way But my heart was in the right place Baby we are standing in uncharted waters Maybe we oughtta start swimming now before we both drown Baby I gotta tell ya Baby I gotta tell you That I love you Baby I gotta tell you Baby I gotta tell you That I love you This is a first and last cos I don't ever want to say those words to anyone else If it's a test I need to pass cos I need you in my life I need you now, and forever And when judgement comes for me I will say that I did what I needed to keep, your love Baby I gotta tell ya Baby I gotta tell ya That I love you Baby I gotta tell ya Baby I gotta tell ya That I love you Baby I gotta tell ya Baby I gotta tell ya That I love you I love you
