Reality Check by TheExlove Lyrics
Verse 1
Life just toke us in, screwed us up, spit us out & put us down
Those weren’t the hard lessons
We had to learn on the road to ourselves
Front row seats to the rise and fall of man
Lost everything, when grief snatched her away
Oh daughters and sons, whose gonna protect ya
Did the best we could, to be there for each other
Was enough?
Drifted too far apart
Broken up, Oooohooo, abandoned
Chorus
Reality Check! When did I sign?
Time gripped hands, wrinkled with care
Can’t take away from the pain
Can’t take awaaaaayyyy from the lashes
Life laid on our backs, left us scarred here for years
This can’t be reality
Reality Check! When did I sign?
Time gripped hands, wrinkled with care
Can’t take away from the pain
Can’t take awaaaaayyyy from the lashes
Life laid on our backs, left us scarred here for years
This can’t be reality
Verse 2
Ten years gone, feeling less, expectations overrated, I’ve learned
A part of us still yarns for the life
Unfamiliar lives once ours
Where did it go?
I hate so much the people we’d become
With all the secrets, with all the lies
Deception would be our demise
Were we rejected by it, or did we dodge a bullet
Chorus
Reality Check! When did I sign?
Time gripped hands, wrinkled with care
Can’t take away from the pain
Can’t take awaaaaayyyy from the lashes
Life laid on our backs, left us scarred here for years
This can’t be reality
Bridge
Missing my sisters so bad
Don’t really talk but we connected
Under medicated for self-deprecating
Wanna hide-out from the world a while
If only, I could, do over, over again
Chorus
Reality Check! When did I sign?
Time gripped hands, wrinkled with care
Can’t take away from the pain
Can’t take awaaaaayyyy from the lashes
Life laid on our backs, left us scarred here for years
This can’t be reality
Life just toke us in, screwed us up, spit us out & put us down
Those weren’t the hard lessons
We had to learn on the road to ourselves
Front row seats to the rise and fall of man
Lost everything, when grief snatched her away
Oh daughters and sons, whose gonna protect ya
Did the best we could, to be there for each other
Was enough?
Drifted too far apart
Broken up, Oooohooo, abandoned
Chorus
Reality Check! When did I sign?
Time gripped hands, wrinkled with care
Can’t take away from the pain
Can’t take awaaaaayyyy from the lashes
Life laid on our backs, left us scarred here for years
This can’t be reality
Reality Check! When did I sign?
Time gripped hands, wrinkled with care
Can’t take away from the pain
Can’t take awaaaaayyyy from the lashes
Life laid on our backs, left us scarred here for years
This can’t be reality
