Real & Good & True

from Bottleneck by Martin Rivas

/

lyrics

If love is real and love is forever, it's awful odd to think
That you could fall in love forever over dinner and a drink
But love defies you as it draws you deeper ever still
And as long as it's the real thing
Every dream it will fulfill...

And real is how I want it
And good is how I want it
And true is how I want it
How I want it
How I want it
All I wanted it to be...

Was real
And all I wanted was you
You're all I wanted
You're more than what I wanted
What I wanted
You're all I wanted
Ever wanted

All I ever did was kneel at my bedside and cry
All I ever did was wait 'til the day that I'd die
Just a broken man with a nervous laugh
'Til my better half came along
Made me whole, made me feel
Made me real

And real feels so honest
It feels so honest
Love is honest
I'm being honest when I say...

It's real
So real, and that's how I want it
All I wanted
You're more... you're so much more than what I wanted
So much more
You're everything
