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
