It's Been Real

""It's Been Real""

(Never say never)

Baby, I hope we can still be friends
And I really hate to see this affair come to an end
But I don't know, it sure was fun
Just seems I'm not the one

I have always hated goodbyes
There's no escaping the tears that fall from my eyes
Every time you're in love you say forever
Forever isn't long, so never say never

Sure didn't take too long
For everything right to go wrong
Women all over the world asked me to write this song
Just a little something to sing when the love is gone

It's been real
But the emptiness, I can't conceal
It's been real
And I hope you have a heart to understand just how I feel
(It's been real)
That's the whole deal
Sure been real

It's not because we did not try
Something just doesn't click between you and I
You keep straining to keep it together
But it's steady falling apart, not getting any better

It sure grew cold, fast
Only a season, did it last
No it's not another man, or a greener grass
I just want more from life than flash and cash

It's been real
But the emptiness, I can't conceal
It's been real
And I hope you have a heart to understand just how I feel
(It's been real)
That's the whole deal
Sure been real

Maybe we got together for all the wrong reasons
You should be with someone cuz you want 'em
Not just cuz you need 'em
And we're older now, I guess we better face the music

Love is for all, not forever
You might lose it

It's been real
Yeah, the emptiness, I no longer can conceal
It's been real
I hope you find it in your heart to understand just how I feel
It's been real
That's the whole deal
Sure been real

It's been real
I hope you have enough love in your heart to understand just how I feel
Sure been real
That's the whole deal
Sure been real

Maybe you could stop by sometime when you just have some time to kill
It's been real

I just don't see us staying together
Things ain't getting no better
