She stood before God
her family & friends & vowed that she d never love anyone else again
only me As pure as her gown of white
she stood by my side & promised that she d love me till the day she died Lord
please forgive her
even though she lied Cause you re the only one who knows just how hard she tried CHORUS: She had a ring on her finger & time on her hands The woman in her needed the warmth of a man The gold turned cold in her wedding band It s just a ring on your finger when there s time on your hands When I add up all the countless nights she cried herself to sleep & all the broken promises I somehow failed to keep
I can t blame her I m the one who left her too many times alone In a 3-bedroom prison
she tried to make a home Her love slowly died
but the fire inside still burned & the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn (chorus x2) |
