[Verse 1] You, you came in close with that fake- smile I I I read it quick, I don’t waste my time Clean clean white lies in a velvet coat~ But I know truth when it cuts that close You, you. You said “trust me” like it meant a lot I I, I saw the shake when the story stopped I I I don’t chase what I can’t keep tight I I, I want the thing that holds all night [Pre-Chorus] If it’s thin, it breaks If it bends, it waves I need steel in the flame I need words that stay~ [Chorus] Real is real, real real is real Say it plain, let it seal ~Real is real, real real is real I I I don’t need a pretty feel ~Real is real, real is real ~If if you mean it, make it clear ~Real is real, real is real Love love love comes clean when it’s here [Verse 2] You brought smoke to the edge of my glass Trying to blur all the lines too fast But I’ve seen gold in the roughest rain And I know the shape of a steady name I I I I don’t fall for the painted dream I want bone-deep, I want everything If you’re with me, don’t hide that face Let the truth hit full in the place [Pre-Chorus] If it’s thin, it breaks e-e-e-eaks If it bends, it waves I-I-I-I I need steel in the flame I-I-I-I-I I need words that stay~ [Chorus] Real is real, real real is real Say say it plain, let it seal ~Real is real, real real is real I I I don’t need a pretty feel ~Real is real, real is real I~If If you mean it, make it clear ~Real is real, real is real Love love love comes clean when it’s here [Bridge] No glitter can patch a cracked-up vow No sweet talk can save it now I I want the truth in your bare hands I I want the full weight, I want the stand I want the stand [Final Chorus] Real is real, real real is real Say say it plain, let it seal ~Real is real, real real is real I I I don’t need a pretty feel ~Real is real, real is real I~If If you mean it, make it clear ~Real is real, real is real Love love love comes clean when it’s here [Outro] ~Real is real You know I feel it ~Real is real Say it and and and mean it
