3 Doors Down - The Real Life

I wanted to find somewhere to hide
And I opened up and left those fears inside,
And I wanted to be anyone else
Only to find that there was no one there but me

[Chorus:]
But I woke up to real life
And I realized
It's not worth running from anymore,
When there was nowhere left to hide
I found out that nothing's real here but
I won't stop now until
I find a better part of me

I let those hard days
Get me down,
And all the things
I hate got in my way,
I could've screamed without a sound
I found myself silenced
By those things they say

[Chorus:]
But I woke up to real life
And I realized
It's not worth running from anymore,
When there was nowhere left to hide
I found out that nothing's real here but
I won't stop now until
I find a better part of me

That's out there somewhere
And it can't be that far away,
That's where I'll find myself
And I'll find my way out,
That's where I'll find out

[Chorus:]
But I woke up to real life
And I realized
It's not worth running from anymore,
When there was nowhere left to hide
I found out that nothing's real here but
I won't stop now until
I find a better part of me
