[Verse 1 ] I feel lonely Like the moon at night Chasin’ the sun Just to borrow some light I feel empty Like a flame in the rain Tryin’ to dance But drownin’ in pain [Chorus] You gotta be real Don’t play pretend I’m tired of shadows That don’t hold my hand You gotta be real Say what you mean ‘Cause we’re all alone When we lose the dream [Verse 2] I feel lonely Like a drop in the sea Swimmin’ through waves That don’t notice me I feel restless Like a hand on the clock Spinnin’ in circles Can’t make it stop [Bridge] I followed the stars But they led me astray I reached for truth But it drifts away If love’s a game Then I fold my cards I’d rather be broke Than playin’ too hard [Chorus] You gotta be real Don’t fake the fire I’m done with dreams That burn out in desire You gotta be real Or let me go I’d rather walk Than dance alone [Outro] I feel lonely But I still believe There’s a light out there That won’t ever leave
