[Verse 1]
Cowboys don't cry
And heroes don't die
Good always wins
Again and again
Love is a sweet dream
That always comes true
If life were like the movies
I'd never be blue
[Chorus]
But here in the real world
It's not that easy at all
When hearts get broken
It's real tears that fall
Darlin' it's sad but true
Cause the one thing I learned from you
Is the boy don't always get the girl
Here in the real world
[Verse 2]
I gave you my love
That wasn't enough
To hold your heart
When times got rough
Tonight on that silver screen
It'll end like it should
True lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would
[Chorus]
But here in the real world
It's not that easy at all
When hearts get broken
It's real tears that fall
Darlin' it's sad but true
Cause the one thing I learned from you
Is the boy don't always get the girl
Here in the real world
Cowboys don't cry
And heroes don't die
Good always wins
Again and again
Love is a sweet dream
That always comes true
If life were like the movies
I'd never be blue
[Chorus]
But here in the real world
It's not that easy at all
When hearts get broken
It's real tears that fall
Darlin' it's sad but true
Cause the one thing I learned from you
Is the boy don't always get the girl
Here in the real world
[Verse 2]
I gave you my love
That wasn't enough
To hold your heart
When times got rough
Tonight on that silver screen
It'll end like it should
True lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would
[Chorus]
But here in the real world
It's not that easy at all
When hearts get broken
It's real tears that fall
Darlin' it's sad but true
Cause the one thing I learned from you
Is the boy don't always get the girl
Here in the real world
