Park Avenue

Park Avenue As I watch you walk away My head is deep in disarray I’d love to know where I went wrong I blinked and now my baby’s gone You said you loved the thought of me But not the real man you see I lied and said; “I understand” As the rain fell through the cracks of my hands How’d it take so long to see? You were never right for me I gave away my heart and soul In return for skin and bones You were my rock, but I was just your steppin' stone I locked away my love for you Thought of no one else but you Spent seven months up on the shelf While you ran off with someone else And though I know he’s not to blame It hurts me just to hear his name And though I hope he treats you well I sure would like to give him hell How’d it take so long to see? You were never right for me I gave away my heart and soul In return for skin and bones You were my rock, but I was just your steppin' stone Honesty will set you free You were never right for me I gave away my heart and soul In return for skin and bones And got left alone You were my rock and I was just your steppin' stone I was just your steppin' stone
