For Real Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm all alone, I'm by myself
I got problems, can't you tell?
I need help, but you're not around
Left me here, I'm on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I lie, lie, lie, lie
Tell everybody that I'm fine, fine, fine, fine
Even though I'm dead inside
I don't feel alright

[Chorus]
Show me something real
I don't know how to feel
I just wish I had somebody with me, that's for real
You'll probably break my heart
And leave me empty for the thrill
But I'm so numb I just want to feel something
That's for real
Show me something real
I don't know how to feel
I just wish I had somebody with me, that's for real
You'll probably break my heart
And leave me empty for the thrill
But I'm so numb I just want to feel something
That's for real
[Verse 2]
It's real, for real
The simulation glitching
And my heart is broke, a piece is always missing
When I talk, you don't ever seem to listen
You're always getting high, maybe that's the reason why

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I lie, lie, lie, lie
Tell everybody that I'm fine, fine, fine, fine
Even though I'm dead inside
I don't feel alright

[Chorus]
Show me something real
I don't know how to feel
I just wish I had somebody with me, that's for real
You'll probably break my heart
And leave me empty for the thrill
But I'm so numb I just want to feel something
That's for real
Show me something real
I don't know how to feel
I just wish I had somebody with me, that's for real
You'll probably break my heart
And leave me empty for the thrill
But I'm so numb I just want to feel something
That's for real
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I lie, lie, lie, lie
Tell everybody that I'm fine, fine, fine, fine
Even though I'm dead inside
I don't feel alright
Yeah, lie, lie, lie, lie
Tell everybody that I'm fine, fine, fine, fine
Even though I'm dead inside
I don't feel alright

[Chorus]
Show me something real
I don't know how to feel
I just wish I had somebody with me, that's for real
You'll probably break my heart
And leave me empty for the thrill
But I'm so numb I just want to feel something
That's for real
Show me something real
I don't know how to feel
I just wish I had somebody with me, that's for real
You'll probably break my heart
And leave me empty for the thrill
But I'm so numb I just want to feel something
That's for real

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
