Lyrics
You were something special,
I could tell from the start,
I was waiting to audition,
For the leading part,
I practiced day and night,
In front of my mirror,
Reciting my lines,
And trying to speak from the heart,
I was convicted,
In a way I've never known,
After all that I'd done,
I had to make you my own,
But the start to something special,
Broke down on the stage,
Your love was for another,
And I knew from then I'd be forever alone,
The city I once loved,
Became the city I loathed,
My own disposition,
Became shrouded in stone,
Beyond the earthy mountains,
And across the sea,
Maybe I'll find my fortune,
Locked in a box with a key,
I'll play my guitar,
And I'll grow a beard,
And I'll sing of someone special,
While choking back tears,
I'll remember my darling,
Who left me on my own,
The girl I became a fool for,
The girl who left me forever alone,
You can find me on my corner,
With my old beat up guitar,
This life has not been easy,
But this life has not been hard,
A simple existence,
With an armored heart,
I never loved again,
For fear of being scarred,
And I still look to the sky,
When I'm thinking of her,
Her beautiful eyes,
Now just a blur,
I remember my darling,
Who left me on my own,
The girl I became a fool for,
The girl who left me forever alone
