When It's Real

I whisper to shadows
Do you love me?
But I can't let these dreams
Get carried away with me

Cause I have a hollow
In my heart
And it's tearing
Me apart

I need someone
To cling to
I need someone
To hold

A hand to grasp mine
And eyes that are kind

When it's real
I'll open my eyes
When it's real
I'll unlock my heart
When it's real
My walls will fall down

And when it's real
I'll forget my past
And the pain
Will wash away
And I'll be okay

But I haven't found it yet
I haven't found it yet

I hold my pillow
And I imagine
It's holding me back

I know I sound sad
But let me tell you
I've been there
I've had that
But let me tell you
It wasn't real

Just because
They say they're there
Just because
They say they love you
That doesn't make it true

I know
Cause I've been there
I've had that
But let me tell you

When it's real
I'll open my eyes
When it's real
I'll unlock my heart
When it's real
My walls will fall down

And when it's real
I'll forget my past
And the pain
Will wash away
And I'll be okay
