LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bob Love

Verse
She left home when she seventeen
Thought she'd found the man of her dreams
He promised her diamonds
all she got was pain and lies
He took away the girl she knew
turned her into someone blue
Down and out and so lost now
she wonders how she'll carry on

Chorus
Can I live without you
Can I make it on my own
There's going to come a time
Getting stronger everyday
Ten thousand reasons to leave
but not one to stay
I know what I have to do
Pretty soon I'm sure I'll say good-bye

Verse
Now, it seems so insane
Twenty years and nothing changed
Thought she needed him to stand
But all he did was knock her down
So much about this special girl
he never took the time to know
He didn't see inside her heart
He didn't think she'd ever go

Chorus
Can I live without you
Can I make it on my own
There's going to come a time
Getting stronger everyday
Ten thousand reasons to leave
but not one to stay
I know what I have to do
Pretty soon I'm sure I'll say good-bye

Bridge
I've risen above you, my heart says leave
I've served a sentence, I've earned reprieve
You're only happy when you demean
Faded love and shattered dreams
broken promises, hope unseen
The love is gone and so am I, good-bye

Chorus
I can live without you
I can make it on my own
It's so much better everyday
Never needed you anyway

Tears are gone, strength remains
Filled with joy, no more pain
I can live without you
Never needed you anyway
Never needed you anyway
