Minor Leagues The Love That Never Was Lyrics

Well you can cry for the love that never was
Or you can go around appreciating what you've got
So please forgive me if you find me crying in the
corner

He knows it's dumb, but he just can't help himself
It's the smallest little details, the way she looked
pissed off with a cigarette
They've gone and taken on all new meaning
And now he knows there's no one like her, and so he
finds he may as well just die tonight

But there at the diner you see her face
She's beckoning you with alluring grace
Her snow boots wet from the summer rain
But you don't care just the same?

Well you can cry for the love that never was
Or you can go around appreciating what you've got
So please forgive me if you find me crying in the
corner
And you can dream of the love that you never found
Or you can do your best to sleep with every girl in
town
So please forgive me if I wake up lonely in the morning

So here he is at home another Saturday
And he's reading over letters, making lists of things
she used to say And all the bad times seem to just fade away
The arguments forgotten, and the trip to Montreal now
the stuff of myth

Then at the record store she's there
Snow boots on and pulled-back hair
Extolling the virtues of Jarvis Cocker
And you don't even talk to her?

Well you can cry for the love that never was
Or you can go around appreciating what you've got
So please forgive me if you find me crying in the
corner
And you can pine for the love that you never knew
Or you can take some pleasure in what's right in front
of you
So please forgive me if you find me talking to old
photos

Well you can cry for the love that never was
Or you can run around appreciating what you've got
So please forgive me if you find me crying in the
corner
And you can hold up the past as your guiding light
Or you can look toward the future for a brand new life
So please forgive me if I'm walking backwards tomorrow

Yes, please forgive me if I'm telling this story again
tomorrow
