He was my intended Proposed to me on bended My lover There would be no other To hold me near always For good for bad and for all days But now I'm hurting While he's out flirting So I sit alone in my room A bride without a groom Those sunny days Fade to shades of greys Now I know the key but not the tune I see the smiles for someone else The flowers and rice for someone else The families gather round They come from out of town She wears a snow white gown For someone else So why do I care That life's so unfair And why do I sigh And why do I cry And why can't I sleep at night I was a fool in love I see it now I was blinded then I don't know how The nights I spent alone Those hang-ups on the phone The times he wasn't home I see it now So why do I care That life's so unfair And why do I sigh And why do I cry And why can't I sleep at night Alone once again now I'm back at the start With nothing but pain to fill my heart The man I thought I knew Found another love to woo Now he shares a love so true With someone else Guess if I put my heart on the shelf And drink to life and drink to health If love comes round again I'll forget about the pain And do it all again For someone else
