Real
Gorgon City feat. Yasmin Gorgon City Yasmin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Were so in love
Nothing could ever come between us
But me and you
We’re so confused
And now we're left in broken pieces
I know that the faster you rise is
harder to fall.

Now we don’t care it all
You and I
Just can't be free
Now all I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real

You and I
We're far too young
Thought we knew what we were feeling
But me and you
We hadn't
And now we lost and have no meaning
We know we need to let go
It's the end of the road, don’t go back
We can get by on our own

You and I
Just can't be freed
All I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be so real, hey
Ain't np happy end will be
We were living like pretending
No answer to a question
We are just too far go remember
We had everything
We were so pathetic

But now we are the lack that we used to be, hey
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be so real
We used to be, we used to be

You and I
Were so in love
Nothing could ever come between us
But me and you
We’re so confused
And now we're left in broken pieces
I know that the faster you rise, is
the harder you fall
Now we don’t care it all
You and I
Just can be free
Now all I know is that we used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
We used to be real
Oh, we used to be, we used to be
We used to be real
We used to be so real




Oh, real, real, real
We used to be real
