V1:
Ten foot walls and razor wire
Electrified and land mines
Like a castle on a hill
Defenses ready to kill
Yet you dare come near
A white knight and noble steed
Hoping to succeed
At breaking down the walls
Chorus:
Real love, it's not what I'm used to
So I sabotage
I drive a wedge, it's what I do
I push you away when I shouldn't want to
I push you away when I should want you
I push you away even though I want you
V2:
You pull me in, despite the pain
Show more grace than I deserve
See through my flaws
And love what's underneath
Treat me better than I do myself
Even when I curse you for it
Picking fights
Over nonexistent slights
Chorus:
Real love, it's not what I'm used to
So I sabotage
I drive a wedge, it's what I do
I push you away when I shouldn't want to
I push you away when I should want you
I push you away even though I want you
Bridge:
Whisper my name with tender care
I'll find reason to shout
Gift me a horse
I'll stare it in the mouth
Try to build a house
I'll just strike a match
Chorus:
Real love, it's not what I'm used to
So I sabotage
I drive a wedge, it's what I do
I push you away when I shouldn't want to
I push you away when I should want you
I push you away even though I want you
