To be real seems like the simplest thing to do But what if the worst things that you put upon yourself Occur because of the worst that has already happened? I'm ready to let bad things happen I'm ready to stop doing bad things to myself Isn't that the only way to be good? I've been making you my god When all this time you've been the good thing that never happened I'm not done grieving I'm ready to receive The lessons come Then all you will be is one of them to me I'm sorry if I forget how good you are If I forget how amazing we were I'm sorry if I move on If only you weren't a ghost to me If only we were ready to be real Men don't die of heartbreak There are only those who give up I'm one to believe that life is because of will I will myself to be real To be no longer lost in the figment of my imagination To be grander than the scheme To leave the dreaming behind and live the dream To feel the wind To be free To be real To be real
