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 fooling around   I promise I won't let you down   This time it's real, this time it's real      I finally 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 fooling 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      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 fooling around   I promise I won't let you down   This time it's real, this time it's real   This time it's real, this time it's real
