The Truest Real

You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all.

Well it’s taken me a while to see, you’re not so special.

All energy no meaning, with a lot of words,

so paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down

and I’ve seen, tonight, what I’d been warned about

I’m gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind.

So see you when you’re 40, lost and all alone,

being comforted by strangers you’ll never need to know

Not sad because you lost me

But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd

Well if you had walked past me today I wouldn’t have picked you out

Now I’ve seen, tonight, how could I waste my time

And I’ll be on my way, and I won’t be back

because I’ve seen, tonight, what I’ve been warned about

You’re just a girl, not a woman, and I’m not coming back

Being weak, when I am strong
Being seen, for who you are
Being sad and lost but not alone

But listen and think when I say,  but listen and think when I say

Who makes you feel the way I make you feel

Who loves you and knows you the way I do

Who touches you and holds you quite like I do

Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
