Don't Contradict Yourself



How can you say that you need a car, when you say to your girl
"you are everything I need"
How can you say that you live in reality, when you say to your girl
"you are everything I dreamed"
How can you say that you feel cold, when you say to your girl
"you are the spark that enlightens my soul"
How come you say that you are looking for something more, when you say to your girl
"you are everything I hoped for"

That is why I recommend to be careful on what you say
For soon, she might notice that your words were all in vain
To speak or to be the truth, takes more than the words that You choose
To speak or to be love, takes more than to enter inside her Heart
That is why my dictionary defines "real"
As the way that you love her and the way that you really feel
To be yourself
