Song for Brit

If I had known I would have laughed at all your jokes
I might have watched you paint the walls
I would have helped you move into
But then we didn't get the chance
You would have loved my spotted dog
And might have come to hear the band
I'd like to think we'd have been friends

I need to tell you something but I have no way to find you
I'll write it out I'll sing out loud I know some people passing through
So if they see Brit tell her, tell her thank you

You should have stuck around
You could have helped me pack
And drove the truck that left it all behind
And held my hand when I broke down
You wouldn't like me now
I'm not the same as I was then
There have been days I understood
And knew the pain that you were in

I tried to tell you something but I had no way to find you
I wrote it out I sang it loud I guess there's more I need to do
So when you see Brit tell her, tell her thank you

I'm not as angry now
But it's still hard for me to trust
How could you leave a little girl alone
Who needed you so much
I know you'd tell me to let go
And that I shouldn't blame myself
You'd say that we were better off
You should have told me how you felt

Did you even try to tell me
But I was too young to hear you
Did you write it out did you sing it loud
How could we know what you would do
Did you even try to tell me
But I was too scared to hear you
Did you write it out did you sing it loud
How could we know what you
would do
There was no way for me to help you

So if you see Brit tell her
And if you see Brit tell her
So when you see Brett tell her
Tell her Tell her
Thank you
