In real life I'm waking up alone
And one more night you didn't make it home
And one more time

You won't pick up the phone

In real life you never bring me flowers

When you're here
It's only for an hour
I'm getting used to

Being on my own

PRE-CHORUS

Because in real life
You're not what I thought
This isn't what I want

Guess things aren't always
What they seem


CHORUS
But in my dreams
I'm waking up for roses

Champagne, kisses and I know it's always,
Always, gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams you're standing right beside me

Two hearts finally colliding
Then I wake up and realize
Realize this is real life


Real life, this is real life
Real life, real life

Real life, whoa, real life

In real life it doesn't always work out

People fall in love
And then they fall out
Hearts can break and never make a sound


PRE-CHORUS
Because in real life

You're not what I thought
This isn't what I want
Guess things aren't always

What they seem

CHORUS

But in my dreams
I'm waking up for roses
Champagne, kisses and I know it's always,

Always, gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams you're standing right beside me
Two hearts finally colliding

Then I wake up and realize
Realize this is real life


Just when I thought this was all
Real life could be
Yeah

Someone came along and made
My dream reality


CHORUS
And now in real life
I'm waking up to roses

Champagne, kisses and I know it's always,
Always, gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams you're standing right beside me

Two hearts finally colliding
When I wake up and realize
Realize this is real life
