Lyrics
THIS ONE'S FOR YOU
Music & Lyrics by Denise Dimin/Reel2Real Songs

This one's for you.
You're the one who has taken my place.
You won. Guess I should bow out with grace.
Be happy with my pride.
My hat is off to you.
You did what I just never could.
Though, you know, I always thought that I would.
God knows, I tried.
If you think, you'll make her happy,
Go on - you've got the best.
Give her good times, give her love,
And for me, there's nothing left.
I raise my glass to you.
You succeeded where I'd always failed.
Guess things are good, but, oh, what the hell.
I guess you're satisfied.
Thanks to you
I'm free . I - I, I do what I please.
Right now I'm just not sure what that means.
Sometimes it hurts so much inside.
I didn't think this could happen.
It's all a bad mistake.
You've got her now. You've got her love.
And who-o is to blame?
I didn't think this could happen.
It's all a bad mistake.
You've got her now. You've got her love.
And I -- I am to blame.
Yeah, this one's for you...
