For Sale By Owner

[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
