Can't really tell you
Why it bothers me
Can't explain
Why I have these dreams
Can't understand
Why I can't make them real
But I do know
Exactly how I feel

And It pains me so
To see these fantasies
Cause I know that they
Don't work for me
I'm willing to give it all up
For one chance just to live it all up

So please let me live
Let me love
And let me give
And if I get hurt
I know I'll heal
Cause for one great moment
I finally felt real

Don't really see
Anything except
That damn silver screen
And the resons I wept
Stars in my eyes
Manufactured lies
And the way love should be
Well, that used to be me

And I want it real
And I want it true
And I want a broken heart
If it means having you

So please let me live
Let me love
And let me give
And if I get hurt
I know I'll heal
Cause for one great moment
I finally felt real
