D-Side - Real World Lyrics






Last night I dreamt you were lying beside me
I smelt the sweetness of your hair
You gently reached out to remind me
Of how it used to be
And I almost believed that this morning I'd find you still there

[Chorus:]
But here in the real world
I miss you madly
In the real world
I'm coping badly with losing you
What am I to do
Here in the real world
Without you

Last night I dreamt of a different ending
Everything just seemed to work out somehow
I saw that someday I could smile again without pretending
In was so sure I'd wake up and I wouldn't need you right now

[Chorus]

Friends tell me I must not look back
There are silver rails just ahead on the track
And my stars say I'm getting over the fact that you're gone

[Chorus]

I'm here in the real world
Without

    Every word is what's happening me. It's fucked up. I don't want to be in this real world. I'm lost without my family. Edel I adore u way too much. When u see this know I'll be in no more pain. I'm breaking my own heart and I'm so fuckn scared. But I'm not a coward I'll laugh and cry and pass on holding onto your picture. All our videos almost 3 years of fun laughs I'll watch them as I'm going and put one and only and how long will i love u on over and over. I tried didn't I? I adore ye and I'm staying off all these. They were keeping me busy when I had nothing to do. I'm just in a dark place and it's only gna get darker and even though u did walk in that morning and kissed me on my forehead I would have been dead if I done it the night before. I saved u. I thought I was doing right. U thanked me and made me to be an evil person all coz I didn't want u bk in there. No one will save me coz no one loved me and I'm trying not to let col find me so I'll block up the door and he'll know before he has to get someone. I'm so sad it's just overwhelming. My sons my daughter u. All gone and hurt and I done it all. Take me wouldn't it. Hope ye all try and enjoy everything that life brings. I won't be long forgotten xxx ❤️❤️ goodbye my beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ one each xxxxx edel I always believed me when u told me ud never leave. I'm stuck with u xxx words. U can take them to heart more than a punch. I'd rather the punch. I made a mistake and I'm paying for it. Love ye all ❤️❤️
