That's Real Lyrics

The song That's Real is performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter in the album named A Place in the World in the year 1996 .

I'm not made of stone, I'm not made of gla*s
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
