VERSE 1:
She looks at me with those sincere eyes
Says "I'm different, you'll see in time"
Words I've heard a thousand times before
But somehow I still fall for the line
PRE-CHORUS:
She says...
CHORUS:
"I'm the real one, baby
The one who's gonna stay
I'm the real one, honey
Not like the rest, no way"
Then goodbye texts at 3 AM
And I'm back where I began
Telling myself "never again"
Until the next "real one" walks in
VERSE 2:
New name, same story every spring
Different face, identical ring
Friends all laugh, they've seen this scene
But my heart's a slow learner, it seems
(REPEAT PRE-CHORUS AND CHORUS)
VERSE 3:
Six months in, her tone starts to change
Phone calls missed, plans rearranged
Promises fade like morning dew
I'm shocked, though I saw it coming too
PRE-CHORUS:
But she said...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
One day I'll learn my lesson
One day I'll break this chain
But until then I'm confessing
I'm addicted to this game
Take my broken heart and wrap it up real nice
Put a bow on top, call it sacrifice
Tell myself this time it's truly different
While my friends just shake their heads in silence
(REPEAT CHORUS)
VERSE 4:
Next week there she'll be, across the bar
New victim lined up, right on par
She'll look at him with those sincere eyes
And I'll watch as he falls for the same lines
FINAL CHORUS:
"I'm the real one, baby
The one who's gonna stay
I'm the real one, honey"
But I finally walked away
No more texts at 3 AM
I'm not where I began
Finally learned "never again"
When the next "real one" walks in
OUTRO:
I won't let the next "real one" walk in
No, the next "real one" won't walk in
Finally free from the "real one" spin
