Mary Chapin Carpenter - That's Real Lyrics

I'm not made of stone, I'm not made of glass

I've been alone, every one has

I've learned to forgive what I'm not

I just try to live with what I've got

Maybe I've got what you need

If you need something that not only feels right

Something that's based on a real life

One thing that's worth every page of the deal

Not some old line, or rose-colored dream

Not some other time, you know what I mean

When I tell you that this is all that it seems and that's real

How far can I crawl out on this limb

There's so far to fall and here comes the wind

There's so much to lose, but love doesn't wait

So I'll be a fool who found out too late

But I've been a fool for far lesser things

And I want something that not only feels right

Something that's based on a real life

One thing that's worth every page of the deal

Not some old line, or rose-colored dream

Not some other time, you know what I mean

When I tell you that this is all that it seems, and that's real

Not some old line or rose-colored dream

Not some other time, you know what I mean

When I tell you that I'm, I'm all that I seem, and that's real

And that's real

And that's real

And that's real
