Her wedding ring is the only thing
these days that sparkles
It's glistening brings memory
of life's better times
When it seemed love sat enthralled
and truly listened
But that all came to a bitter end
on her wedding night

She'd like nothing better than to leave
but she's frightened of tomorrow
And also of the belief
she can't do this on her own
Through the trees she can't see
what lays beyond the forest
Like most her age she is afraid
of being left alone

Her marriage vow is nothing now
but a hollow reminder
It takes her down as she figures out
that it's much to late
At the far end of the heartbreak
is where she so often finds herself
And the far end of the heartbreak
is about all that she has left
