AmG
In real life I'm waking up alone.

It's 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.
FE
When you're here, it's only for an hour.

Because in real life you're not what I thought.

Real life, this isn't what I want.

Guess things aren't always what they seem.

But in my dreams, 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.
Am
Two hearts finally colliding.

Then I wake up and realize, realize this is real life.
