A breakup song. For better or worse doesn't mean for better until it gets for worse. It doesn't mean that all is well until someone cheats or gets cancer. I know marriage is hard and sometimes it really, for whatever reason, it just can't be.
Sometimes all the effort in the world just isn't enough. Mistakes do happen. And if you're being abused, get the hell out. Don't put up with that kind of devastation. But if you're just bored, lonely.. restless. Fight it. You made a promise.
It just seems like a damn shame to me.
So, anyway.. this is really just me sharing a song I wrote when I was thinking about all the broken relationships in the world that could have survived with a little bit of effort.
Lyrics:
You gave me your word
and swore not to break it
kissed me to seal it
then held me so tightly
i promised to love you
forever and after
and you said it, too.
Why breathe the words
if they're just going to burn me?
Why steal my heart if
you don't want to keep me?
I said that I'd walk through fire for you,
and you said it, too.
You said it, too.
Now we are lost because
you burned the map
The fire that once warmed us
has all burned out
When I said forever, I really meant it.
You said it, too.
Why breathe the words
if they're just going to burn me?
Why steal my heart
if you don't want to keep me?
I said that I'd walk through fire for you,
and you said it, too.
You said it, too.
