Here In The Real World Lyrics
Cowboys don't cry,
And heroes don't die.
And good always wins
Again and again.
And love is a sweet dream
That always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies,
I'd never be blue.
But here in the real world,
It's not that easy at all,
'Cause when hearts get broken,
It's real tears that fall.
And darlin', it's sad but true,
But the one thing I've learned from you,
Is how the boy don't always get the girl,
Here in the real world.
I gave you my love,
But that wasn't enough,
To hold your heart
When times got tough.
And tonight on that silver screen,
It'll end like it should,
Two lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would.
But here in the real world,
It's not that easy at all,
'Cause when hearts get broken,
It's real tears that fall.
And darlin', it's sad but true,
But the one thing I've learned from you,
Is how the boy don't always get the girl,
Here in the real world.
And heroes don't die.
And good always wins
Again and again.
That always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies,
I'd never be blue.
It's not that easy at all,
'Cause when hearts get broken,
It's real tears that fall.
And darlin', it's sad but true,
But the one thing I've learned from you,
Is how the boy don't always get the girl,
Here in the real world.
But that wasn't enough,
To hold your heart
When times got tough.
And tonight on that silver screen,
It'll end like it should,
Two lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would.
It's not that easy at all,
'Cause when hearts get broken,
It's real tears that fall.
And darlin', it's sad but true,
But the one thing I've learned from you,
Is how the boy don't always get the girl,
Here in the real world.

What a beautiful song! I can't believe no one has submitted a comment! I love this song! This song is about him wanting life to be like it is in the movies where he can get the girl of his dreams and to never get his heart broken, but he's here in the real world and it's not as easy as it is in the movies!
notmj20 be nice.
Yeah this is a very good song, definately about how media potrays life based events in a differnt light to what it really is.
How true.
It kind of hints at why most people like movies/books/etc. with happy endings- they act as an escape from the often harsh, real world.
