Eye contact with a smile
I think you're feeling this fever too
I've felt this way for a while
Though I only just met you
Brace myself for the buildup
But I'm already crashing so low
Tell myself over again
What I've always known
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's just the next best thing
I miss the heart I was made for
It doesn't exist and it won't
'Cause I'm sick and I know it
If reality's "well"
I can't see where I'm going
This delusion makes it hard to tell
Brace myself for the comedown
As if there's nowhere else to go
Tell myself over and over again
What I've always known
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's just the next best thing
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's just the next best thing
Hold my breath in the in-between
I know I've danced with this nightmare before
Repeat to myself again
What I will forevermore
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's just the next best thing
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real
It's not real, it's not real
It's just the next best thing
