lyrics

The Real Thing (By Chris Brett)

Verse 1:

You packed your bags, bought your ticket, you sailed
far away
The day you left, I was so afraid of
losing you - was I losing you?

I don't know why you had to go away Baby

Chorus 1:

I'm so tired of sleeping alone
Crying alone
Wasting my tears on just another dream
All I ever wanted was the real thing

Verse 2:

You sailed for Paris, you saw Rome
Berlin was nice, but you were still alone
You searched for five bloody years
for something you could have found at home

I don't know why you had to go away, Baby

Chorus 1

Verse 3:

So now your letters are few and far between
You search for words like there was never anything between us
Honey can you tell me why
you had to keep it all inside?

I don't know why you had to go away, Baby

Chorus 2:

I'm so tired of sleeping alone, crying alone
Wasting my tears on just another dream
Wasting my time when it aint what it seems
I'm so tired of sleeping alone, crying alone
Wasting my tears on just another dream
All I ever wanted was the real thing
