The Hip Fire - The Real Thing Lyrics

And seeing you
Is the hardest thing to do
Loving me and never loving you
Constantly, we pull each other apart

Lie down on the floor
Book open by your side
Your gonna be a real somebody
A real success

But she lies, like the real thing
She's got the smoke, but not the cigarettes
And just because it looks lit
It just lies like the real thing
And it's not home anymore
(Not who I knew anymore)
Not who I knew anymore

I'm not gonna tell you
To stand down
It breaks my heart
Watching you
Hanging around
For your next man

Can only change so much
Before it cracks
Your porcelain smiles
Never meant that much
You're a shadow
Of who I thought you'd be

But she lies, like the real thing
She's got the smoke, but not the cigarettes
And just because it looks lit
It just lies like the real thing
And it's not home anymore
(Not who I knew anymore)
Not who I knew anymore

I was being the best that I could be
(Sha la la, ooh sha la la)
Living alone, sleeping not drinking
(Sha la la, ooh sha la la)
I'm gone, gone, gone, yeah I'm gone
Ooh I'm done, done, done
I'm moving on
Moving on
