when i was little i was read stories of the happily ever after endings,
never really believed as i saw plenty of my own attempts becoming quick tragic ends
then that one faithful day i gave it another go
hopes high like always, but prepared for the usual goodbye within a few
by the time a month rolled around my world had soared into the clouds
floating on clound nine, feeling like never before
life was good, my furture finally looking bright
i made mistakes but worked to change, for true love was at stake
every time you forgave and love stayed
the months continued on as 22 became my greatest day
songs we sang, smiles we showed, kisses and hugs we gave
the world was ours for the taking
all signs pointed to you, to a future i had before only dreamnt
but are foundations began to shake as i continued to make dumb mistakes
the ground cracked as the love began to divide
i saw to late, mistakes to great, like a fool i had played the true love that was at stake
knowing i had lost, knowing your happiness would be better off without me, i let you go
but within a few, you said, "we have to give it one more go"
overjoyed with tears, i ithougth i could bring back are sun
but once again i sabtaboged are attempt with words
words not on purpose, only in desperation, for true love was at stake
they proved along with my mistakes to be the final earthquake
now i stand on the outside looking in, as another takes my place
i see you smile, that is what i want, wish it was me but, your happiness wil always be more important than me
wish you both the best, because you are the best, women, wife, and mother any man could hope to love
now i sit and remember those stories of happily ever after endings
before doubted their truth, but now i know they are for those lucky few
for i had happily ever after in my grasp, bright as the sun, clear as a full moon
for that future i saw
now the days seem longer, the sun not as bright, rain comes in the form of tears some nights
will i move on time will tell, probably will, but one will never forget and nothing will ever be the same,
for true love was at stake, only to be lost by my dumb mistakes
