I don't own the song or PJO
In Real Life
When I met him, I thought everything would be perfect, but that was a dream, and this is real life.
In real life I'm waking up alone
And one more night you didn't make it home
And one more time
You won't pick up the phone
When I married Zeus, he said I would be his queen, only his. Now he is gone, with a mortal woman no doubt. He had not been home for a weeks.
In real life you never bring me flowers
When you're here
It's only for an hour
I'm getting used to
Being on my own
I cannot remember the last time he gave me flowers. When we were newlyweds he always came back home with flowers to me, now he is out the door as fast as he came in.
Because in real life
You're not what I thought
This isn't what I want
Guess things aren't always
What they seem
We could not be newlyweds forever, and the glamour faded fast. The first time he cheated on me I cried for hours, and he did not come back before a month has gone.
But in my dreams
I'm waking up for roses
Champagne, kisses and I know it's always,
Always, gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams you're standing right beside me
Two hearts finally colliding
Then I wake up and realize
Realize this is real life
Real life, this is real life
Real life, real life
Real life, whoa, real life
I cannot change reality, but I can dream, and I will always prefer my dreams. When he comes home it is no "Hello my dear, I have missed you," it is only a "Hello wife." Not a word more. He sired many heroes, many of them had felt my wrath.
In real life it doesn't always work out
People fall in love
And then they fall out
Hearts can break and never make a sound
He had so many lovers, many of them did not mean anything to him. His lovers gave him children; many of them did not mean anything to him.
Because in real life
You're not what I thought
This isn't what I want
Guess things aren't always
What they seem
Many years past by and he still was not true.
Just when I thought this was all
Real life could be
Yeah
Someone came along and made
My dream reality
Then the prophecy came, and he had to swear on the river Styx not to have anymore demigod children. Finally he was only mine, and I do not lie when I say that he loved me like he did many millennia before.
And now in real life
I'm waking up to roses
Champagne, kisses and I know it's always,
Always, gonna be, gonna be this way
In my dreams you're standing right beside me
Two hearts finally colliding
Everything was perfect until he met that Grace woman, a popular TV actress and of course he could not resist. She bore him Thalia, he left, he came back, and she bore him Jason.
When I wake up and realize
Realize this is real life
Then I realized something, something I was afraid of, something I hoped was not true.
That he only would be faithful, in my dreams.
A/N: Well that was my second songfiction. Hope you enjoyed it.
