Make It for Real

We fell in love faster than lightenin'
Before we got to know each other's story
But too much honesty then tore us by the seams
We didn't know how to mend it, so decided to end it

Then one day you called me to tell me
You kinda met a real cool lady
But you're caught in between
You don't know how or why
But you just know you still love me
That you can't forget me (forget me)
Oh, what a sad tragedy

Oh why, oh why has love become so complicated?
Was it real or was it just some twisted dream?
And if we could just fast rewind and change one scene
Then take us back to the beginnin'
This time we'll make it for real
Hey-ey, yeah-ey, yeah-ey, hey

Time after time, we would talk it through
The past was too much for you
You took what you could
But now you've lost the courage to start over new
You're not the man I once knew
Things aren't the way they used to

So what now, what can I do about it?
I love you, I still do, but where do we go on from here?
It tears me up inside to hear you say you still love me
But you can't be with me, we're stuck in this tragedy

Oh why, oh why has love become so complicated?
Was it real or was it just some twisted dream?
And if we could just fast rewind and change one scene
Then take us back to the beginnin'
This time we'll make it for real

Yeah, yeah, become so complicated
Was it real or was it just some twisted dream?
And if we could just fast rewind and change one scene
Then take us back to the beginnin'
This time we'll make it for real

Make it for real, for real, for real
Make it for real, for real, for real
Make it for real, for real, for real
Uh-uh, yeah
Make it for real, for real, yeah
Make it for real, for real, yeah
Make it for real, oh, oh-oh
