Real love
Will not hurt you
And won't make you cry.
It won't make you doubt yourself
And hide your pain.

Real love
Will not put you first.
But will walk alongside you.
Shoulder to shoulder.
To steady you if you may fall.

Real love
Will hold your hand.
And look you in the eye.
And tell you the truth even if it's the last thing you want to hear.

Real love
Will stay.
When everyone goes.
When the curtains close.
And tears fall down your cheeks.

Real love
Is not going to save you.
Coz real love knows
You are capable of saving yourself.

Real love
Is your first love.
Is your last love.
Is the love you give everyone else.
