Lately I've been looking at
The box you kept with photographs
Of all the days and nights we left behind
Crazy how the years go by
You blink and then you miss it
I forever see the moments in my mind

It's true
You tear in everything I'll ever do
I am the way I am because of you
And the world keeps turning
The more I live, the more I learn to lose
Still hoping that you'll walk into the room
And the world keeps turning

Learning real love's cruel (real love)
Real love's cruel

I still remember what you said
'Bout living life for what it is
Your face in every picture says the same
There's one of you in that old chair
With tipsy eyes and messy hair
We used to talk for hours when it rained

It's true
You tear in everything I'll ever do
I am the way I am because of you
And the world keeps turning
The more I live, the more I learn to lose
Still hoping that you'll walk into the room
And the world keeps turning

Learning real love's cruel (real love)
Real love's cruel
Real love (real love)
Real love's cruel

Give me real love
Give me real love
Is it real love? (Real love)
Give me real love
Real love

Lately I've been looking at
The box you kept with photographs
Of all the days and nights we left behind
It was real love
It was real love
