Lyrics

[Intro] Ooh, make it easy on yourself Darling, find somebody else [Verse 1] I used to think that we were always gonna be in love But I was so naive back then, I wasn't wise enough To know there ain't nothing in this life that's guaranteed You take your chances when you let your heart lead [Pre-Chorus] And heaven knows how much I wanted to keep loving you You let me down when you said some things that were untrue So I'm giving you up 'cause there ain't enough love in this world To change my mind, we're out of time, the dream is over now [Chorus] I've got my reasons for the way that I feel Suffered in silence when I had to conceal My honest emotions, the truth must be revealed Might not be right but I've just got to be real (Got to be real) [Verse 2] We could go on forever, never really letting go What's the sense in that when in our hearts we know? (We both know) This isn't working (No more) We're on a dead end road (For sure) Don't think my back can stand the weight of the load [Pre-Chorus] And while it's hard for me to admit we made a mistake I can't pretend no more it's too much to take Time for moving on, I said all I have to say Won't live a lie, this is goodbye, the dream is over now [Chorus] I've got my reasons for the way that I feel (I've got my reasons) Suffered in silence when I had to conceal My honest emotions, the truth must be revealed Might not be right but I've just got to be real (Got to be real) [Bridge] And as I walk away, though I'm leaving with tears and regrets There are memories of you I will never forget (It's time) But it's time for me to do what my heart tells me to I have to be strong, but right or wrong, I'll always love you [Chorus] I've got my reasons for the way that I feel (Said I've got my reasons for feeling this way) Suffered in silence when I had to conceal My honest emotions, the truth must be revealed Might not be right but I've just got to be real (Got to be real) I've got my reasons for the way that I feel (I'm telling you the truth now, baby) Suffered in silence when I had to conceal (I, I'm gonna love myself) My honest emotions, the truth must be revealed (Just a little bit more, just a little bit more) Might not be right but I've just got to be real (Got to be real) (I, said I, I got to move on) [Outro] I've got my reasons for the way that I feel (I can't be a fool, can't live a lie) Suffered in silence when I had to conceal (Can't be scared, oh no) My honest emotions, the truth must be revealed Might not be right but I've just got to be real (Got to be real)
