Thirty-one, I'd had my fun, I wore my wedding shoes It's time I said and I filled my head with all the other lies we use All that night, the storm outside, the pounding of the rain And in my heart I knew one day we'd go our separate ways The more you cried the more I tried but I could not let him go Like the dress I wore those years before when he kissed me deep and slow But I was tired of longing, tired of dreaming, tired of fantasy So I walked the aisle with a wounded smile hoping you could set me free And I see, as the years go by, The mistakes that we both made I don't need to defend or blame, But I need to say that it was not in vain Along the way the trials we fail come round and round again But if your love has made me kinder it was not in vain And I see, as the years go by, The mistakes that we both made I don't need to defend or blame, But I need to say that it was not in vain
