Dear friends, we're gathered here To wish it all away in a field of flowers Say vows and count our blessings Too much time selecting All the words to frame the possibilities It's all we'll ever have All we'll ever be The worst vow is a broken vow So don't say it now Wouldn't mean it anyway These words have the bitter taste of honesty It's not the same On our own It's not the same No, no, no Dear friends, make your peace We'll dissolve into a movie screen Speak now or forever hold your secrets in Too much time selecting All the words to frame the possibilities
It's all we've ever had All we'll ever be The worst vow is a broken vow So don't say it now Wouldn't mean it anyway These words have the bitter taste of honesty It's not the same Oh, no, no It's not the same Oh, no, no Tonight the band plays on as you walk away Forget to save me A waltz, a dance A last piece of you and me A wedding cake I'll always be a broken piece You'll always be a broken piece The worst vow is this broken vow So don't say it now Won't mean it anyway These words have a bitter taste And honestly, it's not your way
