In real life I’m waking up alone 
It’s one more night you didn’t make it home 
And one more time you won’t pick up the phone 
In real life you never bring me flowers 
With you’re here it’s only for an hour 
I’m getting used to being on my own 

Because in real life you’re not what I thought 
Real life, this isn’t what I want 
Guess things aren’t always what they seem 

But in my dreams, I’m waking up for roses 
Champagne, kisses and I know it’s always, always 
Gonna be, gonna be this way 
In my dreams, you’re standing right beside me 
Two hearts finally colliding 
Then I wake up and realise, realise this is real life 
Real life, this is real life 
Real life, real life 
Real life, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh 
Real life 

In real life it doesn’t always work out 
People fall in love and then they fall our 
Hearts can break and never make a sound 

Because in real life you’re not what I thought 
Real life, this isn’t what I want 
Guess things aren’t always what they seem 

But in my dreams, I’m waking up for roses 
Champagne, kisses and I know it’s always, always 
Gonna be, gonna be this way 
In my dreams, you’re standing right beside me 
Two hearts finally colliding 
Then I wake up and realise, realise this is real life 

Just when I thought this was all real life could be 
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah 
Somebody came along and made my dream reality 

And now in real life, waking up to roses 
Champagne, kisses and I know it’s always, always 
Gonna be, gonna be this way 
In my dreams, he’s standing right beside me 
Two hearts finally colliding 
When I wake up, I realise, realise this is real life
