(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
