The ballad of Tess McViegh



The house is quiet a glass of wine sits nearby

Just me and my box of memories for one last night

Tomorrow is coming soon with so many things anew

The ride has been so fast like a whirlpool

The picture of me denies my feelings it was all just yesterday

So young and innocent a heart full of hope and dreams

Independent and strong how I’ve come such a long way

This little girl would be proud of how she’s turned out to be



	All that I’ve become will soon be undone

	The girl I used to be will belong to someone other than me

Ill walk down the aisle to their smiles and burning pride

	But it’s the same path full of tears and goodbyes



Somebody’s mother somebody’s wife

A place in the background I hadn’t designed for my life

There’ll be who I was before and the woman I’ve become

Why is there a line the cuts me in two

Would I be losing my grip should have dipped my foot in the river to see

Cause taking the plunge has made it hard for me to find my feet

Why am I grieving and not tears of joy for the love I’m receiving

Not a whispered doubt of his love he’s hidden from me



All that I’ve become will soon be undone

	The girl I used to be will belong to someone other than me

Ill walk down the aisle to their smiles and burning pride

	But it’s the same path full of tears and goodbyes



I was led to believe with a dark secret kept from me

What you decide thru thick and thin your life should be

The unbreakable bond finally found it’s weakest link

With the odds not in my favour it forced me to think

Am I settling taking the best that I can get?

Or is this what was destined for me

I don’t wanna be trying to forget I don’t want a heart of regret

I don’t want to hold it together for someone other than me



All that I’ve become will soon be undone

	The girl I used to be will belong to someone other than me

Ill walk down the aisle to their smiles and burning pride

	But it’s the same path full of tears and goodbyes
