Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] In twenty fourteen I made you my wife We bought a house for a brand new life Both as excited as we could be Living together just you and me Things were so good and we had it all But 2 years later it all would fall [Verse] One day after work when I came home You’d left me a note and you were gone You’d met another man and left town What we’d once had couldn’t be found You’d left your ring on the bedside table You said sell it all when I was able [Verse] I made arrangements to sell our home I didn’t want to stay there all alone There was too much pain inside these walls I found a realtor and made that call We met with each other the next day To figure out what the listing should say [Chorus] For sale by your hometown realty A house on the corner of what won’t be With 4 bedrooms, garage and a den Barely used, ready for you to move in Motivated seller, just make an offer Brand new appliances and city water There’s one more thing that’s barely been used But it’s been treated rough, battered and bruised It’s not worth much so I’ll let it go cheap It’s just way to damaged for me to keep And I don’t even know if it will start For sale by owner… one broken heart [Guitar Solo] [Verse] Our loving home had become a tomb I walked through one last time room to room One final glance and I closed the door Locking up tight what was there before I’m giving my dream to someone new Selling the past is all I can do [Verse] You were my queen but I was your pawn I’m trying my best to just move on I’ve heard things get better over time And it can heal the soul and the mind I’m gonna try and find my new start It should be easy without a heart [Chorus] For sale by your hometown realty A house on the corner of what won’t be With 4 bedrooms, garage and a den Barely used, ready for you to move in Motivated seller, just make an offer Brand new appliances and city water There’s one more thing that’s barely been used But it’s been treated rough, battered and bruised It’s not worth much so I’ll let it go cheap It’s just way to damaged for me to keep And I don’t even know if it will start For sale by owner… one broken heart [Bridge] It’s broken down, not a fixer upper Can’t make repairs to what I’ve suffered It’ll stay vacant and broken down The worst piece of property in town [Final Chorus] For sale by your hometown realty A house on the corner of what won’t be With 4 bedrooms, garage and a den Barely used, ready for you to move in Motivated seller, just make an offer Brand new appliances and city water There’s one more thing that’s barely been used But it’s been treated rough, battered and bruised It’s not worth much so I’ll let it go cheap It’s just way to damaged for me to keep And I don’t even know if it will start For sale by owner… one broken heart
