Lyrics
The Vow
For seventeen long years we were a happy family
A picture perfect marriage was what we seemed to be
So I totally was stunned at the words
That you said to me
I don't love you anymore, it's not where I want to be
I need to find myself, I need to be set free
I'm sorry but I can't stay here with you
I just need to leave
Am I wrong or did we make a vow, till death do us part
To me that was a promise made to God
Please don't take this heart I gave to you
And just throw it away
You need to understand if you walk through that door
And turn your back on us it won't open anymore
There is no coming back to the life
That we had before
Am I wrong or did we make a vow, till death do us part
To me that was a promise made to God
Please don't take this heart I gave to you
And just throw it away
No, please don't take this heart I gave to you
And just throw it away
