To Feel Real Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

Yeah, you got what you wanted
Now you won′t leave me alone
You call me up to come over
'Cause you′re afraid to be alone

And so you sit in this castle
Yeah, that someone else made
And I'm just staring at you
While you tell me you know what it takes

Yeah, to really work hard
And to pay your dues
And I'm just laughin′ at you
Knowing you′ve been waiting your whole damn life
For someone to take care of you


We both know you're coming apart at the seams
Please, won′t you spare me your lines?
'Cause it′s me here and I know a little something about
What it feels like to not feel real

'Cause you can′t bullshit a bullshitter
Hey, I have known you for a while
I've seen you in plastic house shoes
And I have held your hand walking down K-Mart aisles

I know your soul is beautiful
So why don't you just let it out?
What′s the worst that could happen?
The real you could come out

We both know you′re coming apart at the seams
Please, won't you spare me your lines
′Cause it's me here and I know a little something about
Yeah, what it feels like to not feel real
