Story behind the song
This is a song about moving forward with your life, even if it means doing it without the person you're with now. Sometimes you have to be the 'bad guy' and end a relationship if you feel it's not what you are looking for.
Lyrics
REAL
So I've packed my bags tonight
Am I finally doing something right
And if you have my number
You can always count on me
To let you down
To let you down
I've crossed the map and now I've seen it all
The fights, the lies ,
And now my back's against the wall
Truth be told I'm not the kind of person
That you want to know
To know
CHORUS:
If this is real
You've gotta find some way to toughen up
And I know you're real
But honestly I don't think it matters very much
You think my words are souvenirs when really they're just like
Postcards from a friend you never thought you would hear from again
So tell me now, does this crown that you are wearing
Does it fit your name
Does it fit your name
Now I waste my time with empty polaroids that seem so bland
But you know that this is something I have to contend with
So light a cigarette, this is a long time coming
Yeah, long time coming
Long time coming
CHORUS
Don't say that you love me now
Don't say that you love me now
Don't say that you love me now
If this is real
You've gotta find some way to toughen up
And I know you're real
But honestly I don't think it matters very much
If this is real
You've gotta find some way
You've gotta find some way
You've gotta find some way
You've gotta find some way
Don't say you love me now
Don't say you love me now
Don't say you love me now
