Til Death Do Us Part
Yes that is what we said that day
Oh so many moons ago
So much has occurred
Death, illness, a child, career ended
Yet today vows seem to mean less
They used to be the foundation
Now they seem to be just a memory
Words not said should be said
You were supposed to love me forever
That is what you promised me
That is what I promised you
Now look at Us
What will you do
At forty eight
Twenty three looks so wonderful
Forty two isn't new
Pledged to take care of me
I of you
Suddenly you want to go
How do I fix this
What can I do
Help me to help us
I see the abyss approaching fast
The cold fingers taunting below
Need to be positive
Fight to keep you
Yet seems there are other plans in store
Heart is slowly tearing inside
I don't want to tell you
Want you to want to stay
Push the guilt I could
Not my style,
Begged and pleaded
Cried and put up a fuss
In the end though its up to you
Will you walk out or in through that door
I am dying inside you know
Killing me to easily
I have loved you
Given my best
Tears spill down my face
Frustrated
Life shattering
Like walking death
Til Death do Us Part**
Yeah whatever
What a joke
Yes that is what we said that day
Oh so many moons ago
So much has occurred
Death, illness, a child, career ended
Yet today vows seem to mean less
They used to be the foundation
Now they seem to be just a memory
Words not said should be said
You were supposed to love me forever
That is what you promised me
That is what I promised you
Now look at Us
What will you do
At forty eight
Twenty three looks so wonderful
Forty two isn't new
Pledged to take care of me
I of you
Suddenly you want to go
How do I fix this
What can I do
Help me to help us
I see the abyss approaching fast
The cold fingers taunting below
Need to be positive
Fight to keep you
Yet seems there are other plans in store
Heart is slowly tearing inside
I don't want to tell you
Want you to want to stay
Push the guilt I could
Not my style,
Begged and pleaded
Cried and put up a fuss
In the end though its up to you
Will you walk out or in through that door
I am dying inside you know
Killing me to easily
I have loved you
Given my best
Tears spill down my face
Frustrated
Life shattering
Like walking death
Til Death do Us Part**
Yeah whatever
What a joke
