For Real

(album: Everything's Fine - 2023)

Maybe I was wrong admitting how I feel
If I'm vulnerable, does it help you heal?
You act like it don't matter, but it matters to me
For real

And if I was alone for most of the summer
Then I'd get used to it, you not coming over
You act like it don't matter, but it matters to me
For real

And you've been screening calls, talking to the walls
I wish you could talk to me
How it used to be

I'm regretting that I ever let you walk alone
'Cause you were brave enough to make it personal
I'm gon' shine a light on your darkest side
Like you did for mine

When you lost your faith, eyes were filled with tears
You vilified a place you've worked for all these years
You act like it don't matter, but I strongly disagree
For real

Your dad sold his guitar to make you understand
No matter what will happen, music holds your hand
You act like it don't matter, but it matters to you
For real

I pray you don't grow old before your story's told
I wish that the world could see
All you're meant to be

I'm regretting that I ever let you walk alone
'Cause you were brave enough to make it personal
I'm gon' shine a light on your darkest side
Like you did for mine

I'm regretting that I ever let you walk alone
'Cause you were brave enough to make it personal
I'm gonna shine a light on your darkest side
Like you did for mine
