Love the song...hate the story, far too often told in the ink of tears and the wails of dismay. superb write.~~~~MFB III

In the Real World
v
She believed love was like a child's fantasy
Girl meets boy, live forever in a cottage by the sea.
A Real world where goodness prevailed over bad
and Prince Charming wiped her tears each time she was sad..

Chorus
In the Real World, life isn't a picture book
Peter Pan never beats up guys like Captain Hook
the good they die young, and then sad songs are sung
but you won't hear the bluebirds come flocking to sing
in the Real World... broken hearts don't mean anythin'

v
Understanding the pain she shared in her short life
abused by her dad, blamed for losing his wife
Did my best to protect her, loved her all that I can
through her tears floods, she stood on foundations of sand.

b
She left me this mourn..found her note on the bed
"Tried to love you, but failed, don't come lookin.." it said
Lord knows where she's gone, hope she finds peace of mind
like I've lost in the heartbreak that she left behind

Chorus
In the Real World, life isn't picture book
Peter Pan never beats up guys like Captain Hook
the good they die young, and then sad songs are sung
but you won't hear the bluebirds come flocking to sing
in the Real World... broken hearts don't mean anythin'
