I was born in a messed up world
Wide- eyed, little lonely girl
In love- it was plain to see
Nobody held onto me
I moved around until I messed up good
Lost myself like they said I would
Ain't like I want it to be
But nobody held onto me

I spent everyday runnin' away
But all that did was

Real deal, real love
The kind that won't give up
When I'm not quite good enough
Big deal, your heart, no doors
Or reason to run out
I gotta find someone like me
And I really don't want him to leave

Well I cursed this damn old world
It ain't easy as boy meets girl
'Cause I watched him walk away
It doesn't mean it wasn't meant to be

I spent every day prayin' he would stay
'Cause where all I needed was

The real deal, real love
The kind that won't give up
When I'm not quite good enough
Big deal, your heart, no doors
Or reason to run out
I gotta find someone like me
And I really don't want him to leave

One time
He tried
I loved him
So I can't say he lied
But he let go

One time
He tried
I loved him
So I can't say he lied
But he let go

Real deal, real love
The kind that won't give up
When I'm not quite good enough
Big deal, your heart, no doors
Or reason to run out
I gotta find someone like me
And I really don't want him to leave
