To Be Real

To be real I really want to talk to you right? But we just had this fight And I don’t know if I should swoop in with the whole “hey, how are you?” Because I’ve thought about calling you a thousand times But each time my head and my heart were so far apart And to be real I sometimes spend hours starting at a blank phone waiting for you to text back Or waiting for you to call it But if I’m honest I would love to call you and talk to you as if we never fought And no, I can’t ignore you or pretend to be mad at you Because that’s too much weight to carry, hate to carry Hate that I have to remind myself to have every time I see you So for both our sake and peace of mind, I will drown my pride I will try and bring back those conversations lost in time Maybe our hearts will connect again Before we call it quits Unless that’s what you want If so let me know and I will let this go And let it blow into 10 million pieces God gave us mouths so speak Be open with me Let me know how you’re feeling I know asking you how you feel is demanding But I need to know where we’re standing I need to know if I’m annoying you, or if you’re avoiding me Let me know if I need to do something to keep you here with me And I will do the same with you Maybe our hope will help us make it through This thing we have might not be a fairytale But it was meant to be real So don’t stunt with me nor taunt me Just be real with me See I fall easy Lord knows when I taste emotion it becomes art to me Makes me want to give my everything If not everything than anything The say love is like art And its canvas is the heart So I want you to be my art Even if your brush is sharp I will let you paint your emotions onto every part of me Let me be your everything With God and me I will assure you that you can do anything That’s a promise I vow to keep In fact I promise that I will try my best to bring out the best in you To make you want to try something new To let you know that someone has faith in you Just give me all of you And I will give you all of me Let’s be John Legend and Chrissy Tegan And give this love thing a reason Just be real with me
