There was another girl
She was much like you
She lived in the past
And had trouble with the future
Well, she walked with her head held high
And her hands held down at her sides...
It was everything that I had not wanted
There were reasons to be crazy...
Make no mistake about it
When she stopped crying
Her eyes got bright
Make no mistake about it
She walked with her head held high
And her hands held down at her sides
Make no mistake about it
Make no mistake about it
Those were real tears
Make no mistake about it
Make no mistake about it
I've always been unreal...
And you walk a thousand miles in a few weeks
Very little love exists, through the rain and the fog
And her always-hanging mists...
It was everything that I had not wanted
There were reasons to be crazy...
Make no mistake about it
When she stopped crying
Her eyes got bright
Make no mistake about it
She walked with her head held high
And her hands held down at her sides
Make no mistake about it
Make no mistake about it
Those were real tears
Those were real tears
Make no mistake about it
Make no mistake about it
I've always been unreal
I've always been unreal...
She takes a lot of time sometimes
It takes a lot of time to know her
She will disappear before you
Right in front of your very eyes...
Down through the years
She has accepted her life
With her hands held down in fear
Take a tear of a rose
And push it into your own hands
These are real tears...
Make no mistake about it
When she stopped crying
Her eyes got bright
Make no mistake about it
She walked with her head held high
And her hands held down at her sides
Make no mistake about it
Make no mistake about it
Those were real tears
Those were real tears
Make no mistake about it
Make no mistake about it
I've always been unreal
I have always been unreal
When she stopped crying
Her eyes got bright
It was everything that I had not wanted
Whoa, there were reasons to be crazy
She walked with her head held high
And her hands held down at her sides
And more reasons
Make no mistake about it
Those were real tears
Well, that she was just like you...
Make no mistake about it
I have always been unreal
So she keeps them in her heart
Keeps them in her heart...
