Real Life - Bon Jovi

I wish that life was like it is in the movies

Because the hero always gets his way

No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road

At the end he’s got a smile on his face

But when they threw me out to the lions

No one saved me as I fell from your grace

And no one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong

And what I did wrong I could not erase

And this is real life, this is real love

This is real pain, that much I’m sure of

These are real tears

These are real fears, inside that I can’t hide

I wish that I could be your white knight in armor

With an army just to bring you back home

But I’ll admit I’m scared of dialing your number

But someone else is gonna answer the phone

Why can’t it be like it is on TV?

When the orchestra plays and you come back to me

This real life, this real love

These are real wounds I’m bleeding from

And I realize this is real

I always thought that our love was a storybook tale

God knows that I’d never dreamed in the end it would fail
