LYRIC FOR SALE

By Brian Tarr

[Verse 1]
I never told you how much you meant to me
But you were always there to keep me company
Every step of the way you were always there
And the way I treated you just wasn’t fair

It’s been a long time coming and I’m only now just coming around
Wandering about, looking for something I never lost or found
The streets aren’t nice to those out of town
I learned it the hard way when I was beaten down

I don’t know much, but one thing is true
I should’ve been nicer to the beautiful you

[Verse 2]
You were wonderful before, I just couldn’t see it
I was blinded by the dreams that other people wanted
I left you for a minute which turned into years
Now your eyes are swollen from all of the tears

I was chasing something bigger, something that could change our lives
I wanted to be a bird but I never learned how to fly
I tried to… once or twice
But I spent more time staring at the skies

Looking down from above is a breathtaking view
If only I could’ve shown it to the beautiful you

[Bridge]
You deserved better, much more than you were given
If I said, “I love you” now, it would mean nothing
So much time has come and gone our memories have faded
Even now recalling names leave me devastated

[Verse 3]
I never told you how much you meant to me
But you were always there to keep me company
Every step of the way you were always there
And the way I treated you just wasn’t fair

You were wonderful before, I just couldn’t see it
I was blinded by the dreams that other people wanted
I left you for a minute which turned into years
Now your eyes are swollen from all of the tears

I spent my life trying to build something new
In the hopes it would reach to the beautiful you

[Outro]
To the beautiful you I neglected, forgive me
To the beautiful you who waited for me, I’m sorry
To the beautiful you I couldn’t see, forgive me
To the beautiful you, the younger me, I’m sorry
