Real Life

I'd like to help you now
Try to see the truth
Something's can never be replaced
Like innocence and youth

You run away
Don't let yourself decide
Try to tell yourself you'll be okay
If you just don't face what you feel inside

Time goes by
What's done can never be changed
All the tears you could cry
Won't replace time wasted in vain
As fragile as life is do we have the years to spare?
Don't tell me you don't understand
Don't play games with those who care

Real life
Is a chance you have to take
Happiness isn't something you can fake

Real life
Depends on your willingness to see
Real independence never comes for free

Can't I make you realize
It's only a matter of time
Will you choose to live or die
Will you look me in the eye, when it's time to say good-bye
