Something Real

Verse 1

I don’t need the lights, I don’t need the crowd

I’m tired of the noise, I just want the sound

Of a heart that’s open, words that stay true

Someone who’s real when the room’s just two

I’ve been runnin’ circles in a digital town

Where love’s just a word people throw around

I ain’t lookin’ perfect, I ain’t lookin’ gold

I just want a hand I can actually hold

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need forever promised fast

I just need something built to last

⸻

Chorus

I don’t want much, I don’t want thrills

I don’t need lies dressed up as feels

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need control

I just want something real for my soul

Something real, no disguise

Something real behind those eyes

If it’s honest, I’ll take the fall

I don’t want it all — just something real

⸻

Verse 2

I don’t need a picture worth a thousand likes

I need late-night talks that feel like life

Silence that’s safe, truth that’s slow

Someone who stays when the highs get low

I’ve learned the hard way what love ain’t

It’s not convenience, it’s not pretend

So if you’re guarded, I get it too

I’m just askin’ for the truth from you

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need fireworks in the dark

I just need a steady spark

⸻

Chorus

I don’t want much, I don’t want thrills

I don’t need lies dressed up as feels

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need control

I just want something real for my soul

Something real, no disguise

Something real behind those eyes

If it’s honest, I’ll take the fall

I don’t want it all — just something real

⸻

Bridge

If it’s fragile, we’ll be careful

If it’s broken, we’ll be slow

I’d rather have the truth that hurts

Than a love I’ll never know

⸻

Final Chorus (Soft Lift)

I don’t want much, just open hands

A little faith, a little chance

No more runnin’, no more shields

I just want something real
