Rather Real

You came so softly made no demands Yet you broke my heart right in my hands With every glance you showed me clear That love doesn't ask it just stays near I kept my door locked up so long But your hand reached in and pulled me strong Rather real than just to shine Rather feel than just to cry I wanna laugh when the rain pours down Not wait for the blessing to come around Rather real just you and me No disguise no sorry plea Only truth that holds us still Rather real than a fake built world We wear our scars like golden lines They mark the roads that became our signs No glossy frame no spotlight glow Just your face in the morning's flow I kept my door locked up so long But your hand reached in and pulled me strong Rather real than just to shine Rather feel than just to cry I wanna laugh when the rain pours down Not wait for the blessing to come around Rather real just you and me No disguise no sorry plea Only truth that holds us still Rather real than a fake built world And when the world gets loud again I'll press my ear to your heartbeat then Hear the rhythm that carries us through And I'll forget every hurt I knew You're my safe unshaken ground When the storm comes crashing down With you I will live the life as it is No half truth dreams just what's His No day like yesterday we write new lines Let ourselves live in our own rhymes With every step it's clearer what stays Not the game but the truth we raise I kept my door locked up so long But your hand reached in and pulled me strong Rather real than just to shine Rather feel than just to cry I wanna laugh when the rain pours down Not wait for the blessing to come around Rather real just you and me No disguise no sorry plea Only truth that holds us still Rather real in our own world Rather real only with you Rather real my life's true view
