Lizzie Dean - Real Girl Lyrics

I step up to the glass, and gaze through my mirror ghost
I watch the world pass by, and you know what really hurts the most?
Through all the hectic chaos, every movement, every smile
I'll watch them enjoy it, and just sit here for a while

If I were a real girl I would kiss you on the mouth
Oh, if I were a real girl, I would laugh and dance about
I would wake up every morning with purpose in my heart
And never sit back on the shelf, content to be apart

Like a wooden marionette, I'll behave as you expect me to
Behind that painted mask, I'm yearning for my solitude
I feel every conversation reverberating through my heart
But that's to much to process, so I'd rather be apart

If I were a real girl I would kiss you on the mouth
Oh, if I were a real girl, I would laugh and dance about
I would wake up every morning with purpose in my heart
And never sit back on the shelf, content to be apart

I wish I were a real girl, with real hopes and dreams
Yes, I wish I were a real girl, but that's harder than it seems
I wish I were a real girl
I wish I were a real girl
I wish I were a real girl
Yes, I wish I were...

When I am a real girl I'm gonna kiss you on the mouth
When I am a real girl I will sing and twirl about
I will wake up every morning with such joy in my heart
And smash that shelf to smithereens so we'll never be apart
