For Real

I guess I′ll see you when I see you
When there's time to, when shit settles down
Are my tears see-through, does my heart bleed through?I learn not to need you each time I leave town

You know I hate to give you up
And no, I′m never home enough
But as I drive away

The further I get, the stronger I feel
So independent, alone at the wheel
And maybe 'cause I'm okay without you
That′s how I know that I love you for real
That′s how I know it's for real
Oh, that′s how I know it's for real

You′re so much more than someone's someone
You can′t believe love if it's filling a void
And these hotel lobbies and airport coffees
They serve to remind me our love is a choice

You know I hate to give you up
And no, I'm never home enough
But as I drive away

The further I get, the stronger I feel
So independent, alone at the wheel
And maybe ′cause I′m okay without you
That's how I know that I love you for real
That′s how I know it's for real

I always come home and this hurt always heals
′Cause darling, I love you for real
Ooh, that's how I know it′s for real
Ooh
Darling, I love you for real
