Real Love

I'm the boy holding tears back

'Cause men are made of steel

I'm the girl in the back seat

Pretending I don't feel

I'm the one in the last row

Sinking in my shame

I've heard 'em sayin' I don't belong

And they say it in your name

Who'd wanna know me

If they knew me deep inside?

Who'd want a used heart

As black and blue as mine?

Who wouldn't run? Who wouldn't hide?

I swear I never had a clue

So I questioned every question

And the answer was you

You

I didn't find you at the altar

I didn't meet you face to face

I didn't know you as a father

I never knew that kind of grace

I'm the one in the last row

Sinking in my shame

I didn't know I could call you

Till I heard you call my name

Who'd wanna know me

If they knew me deep inside?

Who'd want a used heart

As black and blue as mine?

Who wouldn't run? Who wouldn't hide?

I swear I never had a clue

So I questioned every question

And the answer was you

You, you

The answer was you

You, you

I never knew love

Just something I dreamed of

The kind that don't give up

No, never real love

Until you touched me

And held me so closely

That's when you showed me

Showed me you won't leave

Who'd wanna know me

If they knew me deep inside?

Who'd want a used heart

As black and blue as mine?

Who wouldn't run? Who wouldn't hide?

I swear I never had a clue

So I questioned every question

And the answer was you

You, you

The answer was you, oh-ooh

You, you, you

And the answer was you
