I wish that life was like it is in the movies
Cos the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road

At the end he's got a smile on his face

But when they threw me out to lions

No-one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no-one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong
And what I did wrong I could not erase


This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I'm sure of

These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide

I wish that I could be a white knight in armour

With an army just to bring you back home
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialling your number
Someone else is gonna answer the phone

Why can't it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me


This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside I can't hide

This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I'm bleeding from
And I realise this is real


I always thought that our love was a story book tale
God knows that I'd never dream in the end it would fail


This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I'm sure of

These are real tears, these are real fears inside I can't hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I'm bleeding from

And I realise this is real
