Sergio Mendes - Real Life lyrics

We lived in a world of beautiful lies Where you're fool enough to think you're wise Feeling so sure Love will endure Like a shining star against the night We saw love as clear as black and white We looked to a dream to carry us through But that's more than dreams can ever do Promises made Easily fade And there's nothing left to do or say We just close the door and walk away 'Cause in real life It's never what it seems In real life We struggle in between The hard truth And the promise of a dream In real life Oh, it's never what it seems In real life Oh, in real life Now, I've seen the light and you know the score Love can't blind us like it did before Swear we won't make The same old mistake But no matter how we try to be We're just seeing what we want to see And in real life It's never what it seems In real life We struggle in between The hard truth And the promise of a dream In real life Oh, it's never what it seems I real life Oh, in real life In real life It's never what it seems In real life We struggle in between The hard truth And the promise of a dream In real life Oh, it's never what it seems I real life Oh, in real life 'Cause in real life It's never what it seems In real life We struggle in between The hard truth And the promise of a dream In real life Oh, it's never what it seems I real life Oh, in real life
