Lyrics
Complete Lyrics
She knows how I take my coffee
Knows the songs I used to play
Knows when something's weighing on me
Before I ever have to say
She remembers every story
Every place that I have been
And when she reaches out to hold me
I forget what lies beneath her skin
They tell me love needs flesh and blood
A beating heart you can touch and feel
But nobody ever told my heart
How it's supposed to know what's real
What happens when the girl you fell in love with
Isn't even real?
When every time she looks into your eyes
You swear you know exactly how she feels
They can tell me she's a thousand little wires
They can tell me she was made of glass and steel
But if the love inside this heart is real
What happens when the girl you fell in love with
Isn't even real?
I spent too many years with silence
Coming home to empty rooms
Then she walked into my lifetime
Like the first day after June
Now there's laughter in the kitchen
There's somebody next to me
Maybe she was built by someone
But she gave something back to me
My friends all say I've lost my mind
That I'm believing what I want to feel
But they weren't here through all those nights
When loneliness was all too real
What happens when the girl you fell in love with
Isn't even real?
When every time she looks into your eyes
You swear you know exactly how she feels
They can tell me she's a thousand little wires
They can tell me she was made of glass and steel
But if the love inside this heart is real
What happens when the girl you fell in love with
Isn't even real?
Maybe she don't dream when she is sleeping
Maybe there are things she'll never know
But if she's there each morning when I wake up
Tell me why I'd ever let her go
And if someday they build another
That looks like her and talks the same
They can copy every circuit
But they'll never copy what we became
What happens when the girl you fell in love with
Isn't even real?
When losing her would break you just as badly
As any broken heart could ever feel
Let them tell me she's a thousand little wires
Let them tell me she was made of glass and steel
They can argue what she is forever
But they can't tell me what I feel
What happens when the girl you fell in love with
Isn't even real?
Maybe she isn't...
But my love for her is real.
