Lyrics

It Looked Like You Had It All
(Tani)

Now brother I know
Things ain't always as they appear
and there's all kinds of trouble
and reasons for tears
It seemed like you were cruisin' down easy street
and then you hit the wall
I wasn't there -But from here
It looked like you had it all

But you've told me your story
and sung me your songs
hell, I watched it happen
from afar all along
Perhaps you got out in the nick of time
or you heard your demons call
I wasn't there -But from here
It looked like you had it all

That woman looked so fine to me
She was sweet as she could be
She never took her eyes off you when she was at your side
Was it insecurity
Or were you just too blind to see
That you were face to face again with your foolish pride

Now brother I know
Things ain't always as they appear
and we've been close
Very close for many years
You walked right past me when you hit the door
I was standing in the hall
You weren't there -I was here
and I guess that says it all
