[Verse 1]
Dear true love
I'm a writer without any words
I'm a story that nobody heard
When I'm without you

[Verse 2]
I am a voice
I am a voice without any sound
I'm a treasure map that nobody found
When I'm without you

[Verse 3]
Dear true love
I'm a lantern without any light
I'm a boxer much too afraid to fight
When I'm without you

[Chorus]
So with this ring
May you always know one thing
What little that I have to give
I will give it all to you
You're my one true love

[Verse 4]
I am a memory
A memory bent out of shape
A childhood already bruised with age
When I'm without you
[Verse 5]
So, dear true love
I'm an artist without any paint
I'm the deal that everyone breaks
When I'm without you

[Chorus]
So with this ring
May you always know one thing
What little that I have to give
I will give it all to you
You're my one true love

[Verse 6]
I am a whisper
I'm a secret that nobody keeps
I'm a dreamer of someone else's dreams
When I'm without you

[Verse 7]
Dear true love
I'm a farewell that came all too soon
I'm a hand-me-down that dreams of being new
When I'm without you
