Pay Attention
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She gets the house and garden
He takes the boat and the car
Both their hearts have hardened
To the way things are
They're not quite sure what happened
Didn't see it slip away
There wasn't any big problem
They just forgot to pay attention
It happens all too often
Loves dies in vain
We drive the nails in the coffin
And just bury the blame
So many excuses
We'll say it's hard to explain
When the simple truth is
We just didn't pay attention
It's harder than it seems
So many things get in the way
But when you think of what you stand to lose
It not such a high price to pay
Attention
Just pay attention
