Lyrics for: IF LOVE IS REAL?
Copyright 2016 Gary Ward. All rights reserved. 100 BPM Time: 2:36
Verses 1 & 2
I'm sitting in an airport
Not sure of where I'm going
Flying alone in first class
All my baggage keeps on growing
We were so hot together
Bodies burning with desire
I knew you played with matches
Never knew I was on fire
Pre-Chorus 1
Sometimes it's so much easier to run away
And just forget about all the pain
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever have the strength To find someone new and fall in love again
Chorus
How do you know if love is real? How do you know?
Where can you find a heart that's true? Where do you go?
How do you know if love is real? How do you know?
Verses 3 & 4
I never saw it coming
I never got a warning
I went to sleep at night and
Everything had changed by morning
You were my super hero
Guess you were just pretending
Lights on, the movie's over
Not a very happy ending
Pre-Chorus 2
Sometimes I wonder why people can't tell the truth About the secrets that are in their heart
Sometimes I feel like a million broken pieces
'cause everything I love is falling all apart
Chorus (extended, repeat last 2 lines)
