For Real
Zach Paradis Lyrics

Wasted time, we'll waste a lot of time
If we continue down this path that isn't right, we will waste a significant amount of time.

If this ain't right, I'm terrified it's not right
If this relationship isn't right, I am deeply afraid that it will never be right.

'Cause you hold your thoughts back from me
Because you are hiding your thoughts and feelings from me.

And I don't like that
I am not comfortable with the fact that you are holding back from me.

What don't you want me to see
What are you trying to hide from me?

If you're wrong, we can right that
If you admit that you are wrong, we can fix the situation.

Come on, come on, tell me what you're thinking
Please, open up and communicate your thoughts with me.

I'll sink or swim, know I'm off the deep end
I am fully invested in this relationship, regardless of the outcome.

For you, for you, I want to make this work
I am willing to put in the effort to make this relationship succeed, for the sake of our love.

But, baby, first thing's first
Before anything else, I need to know the truth.

I want to know is this love here for real
I yearn to discover if this love is genuine and enduring.

Just want to know is this love here for real
I simply desire to find out if this love is authentic.

Am I betrayed by the way that I feel
Are my own emotions deceiving me, leading me astray?

Do you feel the same
Do you experience the same depth of feeling for me?

So set me on this cliff, dear
Expose me to vulnerability by placing me on the edge, my love.

And watch me hold on
Observe as I desperately cling to what we have.

But know that I can't stay here
However, understand that I cannot remain in this uncertain state.

Hanging too long
Lingering in this limbo for an extended period of time.

Cause I just want you to believe
Because all I desire is for you to have faith in our future together.

In our future
In the potential of what lies ahead for us.

Long as your sticking with me
As long as you remain committed to me.

We can do whatever suits you
Together, we can navigate any obstacles that come our way according to your preferences.

And does your heart know things
Does your heart hold knowledge and insight?

And are they hard owning
And are those things difficult for you to acknowledge?

You got to tell me for real
You must honestly and sincerely reveal these things to me.

I want to know is this love here for real
I genuinely want to ascertain if this love is indeed genuine and lasting.

I got to know is this love here for real
I need to determine if this love is truly authentic.

You got my heart in your hands, you could kill
You possess the power to either nurture or demolish my heart.

Unless you feel the same
Unless you reciprocate the same depth of emotion.
