Lyrics
Not for You
(words by Ward Ralston, music Ward Ralston & John Crooks)
Verse 1
His hands that give no comfort
Or shelter from the rain.
His eyes that never notice
Your beauty or your pain.
Verse 2
Your heart that keeps forgiving
Every blunder made.
Your wounds that never heal
Clinging to the blade.
Chorus
Clouds over you
Making you blue
Change overdue.
He?s just not -
He?s just not the guy for you.
Break apart
Save your heart
Played your part. (alt. ? Played your cards)
It?s just not -
It?s just not the way for you. (alt. ? It?s just not the game for you.)
Bridge
A lesson taught but seldom learned.
Don?t give your heart away unless it?s earned.
Misery has put your soul to sleep.
Get out now before you slip too deep.
Repeat Verse 1
Repeat Chorus
Outro
Leave this town
Lose your frown
Look around.
There may be -
There may be love to be found.
