We Were Real to Me

Somewhere underneath the canvas sky
I paint a picture of you and I
The way it used to be

And I know
That I just need to let hurt
Just let it be for what it's worth
And I guess to you it don't mean anything

Long after the last call's over
And everybody's lookin' for somebody to hold onto
And the loneliness moves in
In the shadows creepin' then
I'll still be here wonderin'
That I don't know what we were to you
But we were real to me

And as time goes by
The ghost of you it comes and goes
But still the memory unfolds
And I guess to you it didn't mean anything
We'll never be

Long after the last call's over
And everybody's lookin' for somebody to hold onto
And the loneliness moves in
In the shadows creepin' then
I'll still be here wonderin'
That I don't know what we were to you
But we were real to me

Well these empty streets far a lot like me
As I look at my reflection in the glass
It took all that I had
But you know it ain't easy
Tryin' to make somebody love you is like tryin' to hold onto the sun

Long after the last call's over
And everybody's lookin' for somebody to hold onto
And the loneliness moves in
In the shadows creepin' then
I'll still be here wonderin'
That I don't know what we were to you
But we were real to me

Oh we were real to me

We were real
We were real
