Lyrics
It Was Real
I looked at my phone
and saw the memories of time gone
and I know that what we had was real
Both have moved on
but the memories are never gone
We both know that what we had was real
Chorus:
And we begged and we pleaded
oh just to borrow
we begged 'cause we needed
just one more tomorrow
and the story still ended
but it was real
it was real
My hands remember your face
and my heart still feels your embrace
and I know that what we had was real
Do you remember our home
and the years we spent
making it our own
We both know that
what we had was real
