In Real Life

I know you’ve grown fond of me,

I also know that you cannot resist me;

You wear your heart on your sleeve,

And curse when things don’t go the way you see.

In real life, that’s the bitter truth:

Things ain’t supposed to happen your way.

In real life, that’s the right path:

People don’t listen to what you say.

It’s time to let go –

Let go and not look back;

Let it go and stride on –

Like you’re on horseback.

’Cause, in real life, that’s the honest answer:

Nothing ever seems right.

’Cause, in real life, there’s more truth in:

What’s wrong is right.
