Lyrics for The Real

I don't know the real from what I Know I saw I can't remember where I went Where I was ♪ I'm gonna move toward a point in time Where where you are is a state of mind And anytime I can read your thoughts Some of them yours and some of them I thought up There's no good reason for a heartbreak Nothing's repeating every Monday It's no good saying you'll always be mine These jokes life's playing it makes me so tired ♪ It's already to much to always seen you off The sense that hours go back is enough ♪ I like to fade when I write this line There's every reason to paint a decline And every mile I walk is five I'll get where I'm going in the next life And all the while there's a false face This every killing is left untraced This kind of falling saved my son This constant longing for what's gone
