Tragedy from the start!

When springtime comes
and clouds pass across the sky
I think of you and wonder why,
eveything just fell apart

Nothing good ever lasts too long
I guess it's meant to be that way.
I took your hand a long, long time ago
and I'm still wondering why!

The memories made,
some were good and some were bad
all in all they made me cry
In the end there was no balm to soothe the pain

We only married to satisfy
an ignorant law which made no sense
People questioned why we made the choice
we were lookinng for the nonexistant

Nothing ever satisfied our desires
we both worked hard to make a go of it
in the end it left us desolate
The choices made weren't based on love

They were precipitated by fear and pride
we thought that heaven might just be in reach
Unfortunately those hopes quickly died.
There were bitter words and inflated egos.

Nothing could have changed the way we felt.
The mistrust existed from the start.
Why oh why did we pusue this path
I sometimes sit and wonder why.

I gave up things I loved to be with you
I lost them all, and it makes no sense to me
I wish that I could roll back time
I'd listen to my friends who said to give it up

The truth is this, I never loved you
I thought that it would come in time
The things I wanted never materialized
We both gave up without a flinch

I just let go of everything
When time slipped by I understood the truth
The god's we worshipped all had lied!
In the end we found it to be true.

Time escapes and we both know that now
We're both older and the truth has changed
If I had made a wiser choice
I might have found my true desire!
