What Is Real
by Miss Liss
Lyrics
Verse 1
What is real when the days feel split?
His head full of static, his hands full of grit
Too many questions, not one clean map
Nobody knows where the missing parts at
He stares at the sink, at the crack in the tile
Trying to trust what it takes a while
Alissa on his shoulder, trying not to fold
Holding that love like a story untold
Pre-Chorus
He needs a yes
He needs it plain
Not one more maybe
Not one more strain
Say it soon
Say it straight
If he’s your home
Don’t leave him in the gray
Chorus
What is real?
Say it real
What is real?
Say it clear
Alissa loves the fucker though
Alissa loves the fucker though
What is real?
Don’t let it spin
What is real?
Let him in
Verse 2
He keeps asking twice, then asking again
Like the same old bruise won’t ever defend
There’s a ring in the air, there’s a ring in his chest
But nobody says what he needs the best
She looks at him soft with her tired eyes
Like she knows the fear that’s living inside
He wants that promise, that solid ground
Not another silence hanging around
Pre-Chorus
He needs the truth
He needs the line
One clean answer
In one clean time
If you mean forever
Then make it known
He can’t keep living
Half-way home
Chorus
What is real?
Say it real
What is real?
Say it clear
Alissa loves the fucker though
Alissa loves the fucker though
What is real?
Don’t let it spin
What is real?
Let him in
Bridge
If your heart is yes, then say yes now
If your heart is no, then say it somehow
He’s been hurt enough by the gaps between
By the dead air hiding what you mean
So take his hand
And cut the fog
One little truth
Can move that wall
Chorus
What is real?
Say it real
What is real?
Say it clear
Alissa loves the fucker though
Alissa loves the fucker though
What is real?
Don’t let it spin
What is real?
Let him in
Outro
That’d be helpful
That’d be kind
One honest word
Can save the night
