(mary chapin carpenter)



I'm not made of stone, i'm not made of glass

I've been alone, every one has

I've learned to forgive what i'm not

I just try to live with what i've got

Maybe i've got what you need



If you need something that not only feels right

Something that's based on a real life

One thing that's worth every page of the deal

Not some old line, or rose-colored dream

Not some other time, you know what i mean

When i tell you that this is all that it seems and that's real



How far can i crawl out on this limb

There's so far to fall and here comes the wind

There's so much to lose, but love doesn't wait

So i'll be a fool who found out too late

But i've been a fool for far lesser things



And i want something that not only feels right

Something that's based on a real life

One thing that's worth every page of the deal

Not some old line, or rose-colored dream

Not some other time, you know what i mean

When i tell you that this is all that it seems, and that's real



Not some old line or rose-colored dream

Not some other time, you know what i mean

When i tell you that i'm, i'm all that i seem, and that's real

And that's real

And that's real

And that's real
