This is real

(Verse 1)

Woke up to a quiet room again

Same four walls, same ticking hands

No background music, no grand design

Just breath and bones and borrowed time

Mirror shows a different face

Every year it shifts in place

No checkpoints, no restart screen

Just living with what everything means

(Pre-Chorus)

No script to read, no lines to steal

Just what we are, just what we feel

(Chorus)

This is real, no second take

Every choice is one we make

No rewind when moments fall

No one coming to save us all

But in the dark, there’s something true

A spark in me, a spark in you

And maybe that’s the only deal—

We’re here, we’re now… this is real

(Verse 2)

Dreams don’t always turn out right

Some just fade into the night

We lose things we can’t replace

Time slips through without a trace

But laughter cuts through heavy air

Unexpected, but it’s there

In broken plans and messy days

There’s a strange and honest grace

(Pre-Chorus)

No perfect world, no way to heal

Everything except what’s real

(Chorus)

This is real, no second take

Every choice is one we make

No rewind when moments fall

No one coming to save us all

But in the dark, there’s something true

A spark in me, a spark in you

And maybe that’s the only deal—

We’re here, we’re now… this is real

(Bridge)

And it’s not always kind

It doesn’t always care

But it’s ours to define

In the love we choose to share

No grand applause, no end credits roll

Just quiet hearts and growing souls

Trying to understand

What it means to stand

(Final Chorus)

This is real, fragile and wild

A broken dream, a hopeful child

Every scar and every start

Every beating, honest heart

Through the doubt, through what we feel

Through the questions that won’t heal

Maybe truth is something we reveal—

By choosing to live… what is real

(Outro)

No perfect end, no way to seal

Just open eyes… and this is real
