Give me the real thing or give me the feeling I'm twisting your arm till you cave Or I'm breaking it off Do me a favor and say what you're thinking I'm twisting the words that you say Till I hear what I want I knew if it told you that I loved you You were probably going to run I knew if I told you I'm an a**hole Then you'd probably fall in love It's not the end of the world But it's pretty damn close It's not the fact that I need you But the fact that it shows It's not the end of the world But it's pretty damn close When the only things keeping me at bay Are shadows and terror Give me the real thing or give me the feeling And when the ending sings an infinite refrain Over and over Give me the real thing or give me the feeling I knew if it told you that I loved you You were probably going to run I knew if I told you I'm an a**hole Then you'd probably fall in love It's not the end of the world But it's pretty damn close It's not the fact that I need you But the fact that it shows It's not the end of the world But it's pretty damn close I'm nothing to miss There's hope, then there's this: What could have been And how it is
