Real Love

Album: Real Love


Verse 1
I'm the boy holdin' tears back
'Cause men are made of steel
I'm the girl in the backseat
Pretendin' I don't feel
I'm the one in the last row
Sinkin' in my shame
I've heard 'em sayin' I don't belong
And they say it in Your name

Chorus
Who'd wanna know me
If they knew me deep inside?
Who'd want a used heart
As black and blue as mine?
Who wouldn't run?
Who wouldn't hide?
I swear I never had a clue
So I questioned every question
And the answer was You (You)

Verse 2
I didn't find You at the altar
I didn't meet You face to face
I didn't know You as a Father
I never knew that kinda grace
I'm the one in the last row
Sinkin' in my shame
I didn't know I could call You
'Til I heard You call my name

Chorus
Who'd wanna know me
If they knew me deep inside?
Who'd want a used heart
As black and blue as mine?
Who wouldn't run?
Who wouldn't hide?
I swear I never had a clue
So I questioned every question
And the answer was You (You, You)
The answer was You (You, You)

Bridge
I never knew love
Just somethin' I dreamed of
The kind that don't give up
No, never real love (Real love)
Until You touched me (Oh)
And held me so closely (Oh)
That's when You showed me (Oh)
Showed me You won't leave

Chorus
Who'd wanna know me
If they knew me deep inside?
Who'd want a used heart
As black and blue as mine?
Who wouldn't run?
Who wouldn't hide?
I swear I never had a clue
So I questioned every question
And the answer was You (You, You)
The answer was You (You, You, You)

Outro
And the answer was You

It is a lovely song of hope and upliftment. I just don't like the "I swear I never had a clue" part as the Bible says not to swear. - Apr 2025
