Real World
D-Side Lyrics

Last night I dreamt you were lying beside me
I imagined you were next to me last night while I slept

I smelt the sweetness of your hair
I remembered the scent of your hair in my dream

You gently reached out to remind me
You touched me softly to make me remember the past

Of how it used to be
Of how things were before we parted ways

And I almost believed that this morning I'd find you still there
I almost thought you would still be next to me when I woke up

But here in the real world
However, in reality

I miss you madly
I desperately long for you

In the real world
In actuality

I'm coping badly with losing you
I'm struggling to deal with the pain of losing you

What am I to do
I don't know how to move on

Without you
Now that you're gone

Last night I dreamt of a different ending
I had a dream of a happier outcome

Everything just seemed to work out somehow
Everything fell into place in my dream

I saw that someday I could smile again without pretending
I envisioned a future where I could truly be happy

I was so sure I'd wake up and I wouldn't need you right now
I believed that I would no longer need you to be happy

Friends tell me I must not look back
My friends advise me to move forward

There are silver rails just ahead on the track
There are opportunities for a better future ahead

And my stars say I'm getting over the fact that you're gone
My horoscope predicts that I'm healing from losing you

I'm here in the real world
I'm present in reality

Without you by my side
Without you here with me

I'm trying to survive
I'm struggling to go on

But it's hard to move on
But it's difficult to let go

When my heart keeps holding on
When my emotions are still attached to you

To the memories we made
To the moments we shared together

Here in the real world.
In the current reality.
