The Real Thing

[Verse 1]
I guess I've settled for half of what I need
You burned through me like wildfire
And there ain't nothing new to see
I've given half my life away wondering which direction's home
With a jagged piece of you somewhere
Stuck deep into my soul

[Chorus]
You know how it feels
Can't get no relief
This couldn't be real
But it feels like the real thing
The real thing

[Verse 2]
I guess I always thought that I'd have my second chances
The days are now so precious
The timeline keeps advancing
Just behind the door, I thought, were the answers to my questions
All I wanted was a clean break
But ended up here in a mess

[Chorus]
You know how it feels
To be brought to your knees
This couldn't be real
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing
The real thing

[Post-Chorus]
Always searching
Never finding
Always somewhere else
I think

[Pre-Chorus]
You know how it feels
This couldn't be real
But it feels like the real thing

[Chorus]
You know how it feels
Can't get no relief
This couldn't be real
But it feels like the real thing
The real thing

[Chorus]
You know how it feels
To be brought to your knees
This couldn't be real
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing
The real thing
