1. In real life I’m waking up alone

It’s one more night you didn’t make it home

And one more time you won’t pick up the phone

2. In real life you never bring me flowers

When you’re here it’s only for an hour

I’m getting used to being on my own

R: Because in real life you’re not what I thought

Real life, this isn’t what I want

Guess things aren’t always what they seem

But in my dreams, I’m waking up for roses

Champagne, kisses and I know it’s always, always

Gonna be, gonna be this way

In my dreams, you’re standing right beside me

Two hearts finally colliding

Then I wake up and realise, realise this is real life

Real life, this is real life

Real life, real life

Real life, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh

Real life

3. In real life it doesn’t always work out

People fall in love and then they fall out

Hearts can break and never make a sound

R: Because in real life you’re not what I thought...

4. Just when I thought this was all real life could be

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Somebody came along and made my dream reality

R: And now in real life, I’m waking up to roses

Champagne, kisses and I know it’s always, always

Gonna be, gonna be this way

In my dreams, he’s standing right beside me

Two hearts finally colliding

When I wake up, I realise, realise this is real lifeh

Oh
