Something Real, a Song fanfic

: Something Real :

Can I get a song that isn't fake
Find a melody that doesn't hesitate
to tell the truth, to describe
How I'm actually feeling inside

It's a little bit more complicated than
"We were meant to be"
It's a bit more raw than
Refined romantic fantasy

I just want something real
I just want something real

chorus
I just want some words to say
How I feel so out of place
Without sending your head spinning
In a car crash of cliches
I want something so honest
You'd never believe it's true
Something untamed, imperfect, unchanged
Some part of me to give to you
To show you how I feel
Something real

They say "Oh, baby, won't you come back"
Well I don't really feel like that
"Baby, baby, why did you leave"
No, I know every reason you left me

I miss you doesn't quite say
How much I miss your song
Doesn't give you the hint that
I'm kind of happy you're gone

This is far from a fairy tale
But it ain't no tragedy
Things like this happen every day
But it seems the opposite of ordinary
Because I just can't seem to find the words
Got a third, fourth, fifth try
To get it right
Sometimes a sixth in
The middle of the night
But I still don't know what to say
Lyrics from love songs seem so vain
I'm trying to write something new for you
But you took my words
When she took you

chorus
I just want some words to say
How I feel so out of place
Without sending your head spinning
In a car crash of cliches

I just want something real
I just want something real

It's a little bit more complicated
It's a bit more raw
It's a picture I'm too jaded,
Too hurt, too faded to draw
