(mary chapin carpenter)
I'm not made of stone, i'm not made of glass
I've been alone, every one has
I've learned to forgive what i'm not
I just try to live with what i've got
Maybe i've got what you need
If you need something that not only feels right
Something that's based on a real life
One thing that's worth every page of the deal
Not some old line, or rose-colored dream
Not some other time, you know what i mean
When i tell you that this is all that it seems and that's real
How far can i crawl out on this limb
There's so far to fall and here comes the wind
There's so much to lose, but love doesn't wait
So i'll be a fool who found out too late
But i've been a fool for far lesser things
And i want something that not only feels right
Something that's based on a real life
One thing that's worth every page of the deal
Not some old line, or rose-colored dream
Not some other time, you know what i mean
When i tell you that this is all that it seems, and that's real
Not some old line or rose-colored dream
Not some other time, you know what i mean
When i tell you that i'm, i'm all that i seem, and that's real
And that's real
And that's real
And that's real
