For Sale By Owner

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

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

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

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

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

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

one broken heart

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
