Real Life, a valentines gift for men to give

I was young, he was old, we both were the same age

Everyday playin’ fetch, shaking hands, he’d lick my face

and I was unaware the day would come

And when he died, for the first time I knew what real pain was
And I never was the same again

From that moment on, real life began

Senior high, girlfriends, football games, graduation

Summer break, spent my time, fillin’ out applications

A few superficial years went by, they were all a blur

Then in the most unlikely situation, there you were
And I never was the same again

From that moment on, real life began

With you, only you

By your side, scare to death, felt the pain you were fighting

Placed my palm on your head, spoke your name, just keep tryin’

And then you closed you eyes and took one last breath

And when it was over, you looked up

I laid our baby across your breast
And I never was the same again

From that moment on

Real Life began
