Words that rhyme with Realized
You can read realized two ways: as a household-word, or as a three-syllable shape on the front /ษ/ that lands on a closed syllable. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. The assonance well is bottomless, family rhymes come up empty, and strict matches don't survive the classifier. When the search is rhymes for realized, the answer takes a specific form: the pull is toward slant work. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why realized rhymes the way it does
Pull realized apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 259, assonance 6,159, and consonance 4. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Realized rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
