I never knew what I'd go through without you
Or how much I need for you to believe in me
But it won't have to be like before
'Cause I don't have to lie anymore

'Cause this time it's real
The way that I feel about you
Don't walk away 'cause I'm not the same without you
I'm not just foolin' around
I promise I won't let you down
This time it's real, this time it's real

I finaly know why you had to go away
You needed time something that I couldn't give
But I'm not the same man I've been
And you'll know when I hold you again

'Cause this time it's real
The way that I feel about you
Don't walk away 'cause I'm not the same without you
I'm not just foolin' around
I promise I won't let you down
This time it's real, this time it's real

I've only given you half of my heart
But I'll give it all from now on

'Cause this time it's real
The way that I feel about you
Don't walk away 'cause I'm not the same without you
I'm not just foolin' around
I promise I won't let you down
This time it's real, this time it's real
