Lyrics
Each ring means something
each dream meant something too
The right ring never made the right finger
and the right dream never came true
We ignored the warning signs
and dug ourselves shallow graves
just stood apart all these years
each day a little more bitter
Remember the two lovebirds
we wanted to buy
for a house we would never move into
where are they now
We built one another a shelf
and sat with our backs to each other
We're now so on our own
We couldn't keep us together
What about all of our secrets?
Oh, can we keep them?
And is that the price that we pay
now we don't need them
Remember the two lovebirds
we wanted to buy
for a house we would never move into
where are they now
No wedding day
no horse, no carriage, no bursting the seams
no fights in the car
as we shatter our dreams late at night
as the rain bounces up in the headlights
just keep dreaming I promise I'll be there
just keep dreaming I promise I'll be there
just keep dreaming I promise I'll be there
when it all comes true
when it all comes true
if it all comes true
for you
