What's Real
by Michael Eldridge Thornton

Right now it's kind of hard to say
How on earth I'll be able to stay
Now everybody wants to know
Why I can't just let her go

My answer has always shocked them and it will stay the same
My love is too strong for her and for another, it will never change
When they hear that, they say I'm crazy
They say I'm lost.  Well, I don't know, maybe

If you just think how strong our feelings have gotten for each other
This is so real.  You try hard to venture away from telling your mother
I really think you made a mistake
But it's never too late to make this love shake

You didn't give yourself enough time
Because if you did, you would have known you were meant to be mine
But you know life comes with some hard lessons
But baby girl, for real, I'm tired of just messing

Watching my back, wondering who sees
That's not cool and it really isn't for me
One day you'll break free
And that would be the day you finally see
That's all I have to say, so I'm gone
So think about this, but don't think too long
