31 I'd had my fun
I wore my wedding shoes
It's time I said and I filled my head
With all the other lies we use
And all that night the storm outside
The pounding of the rain
And in my heart I knew one day we'd go our separate ways

And I see as the years go by
The mistakes that we both made
I don't need to defend or blame
But I need to say that it was not in vain

The more you cried the more I tried
But I could not let him go
Like the dress I wore all those years before
When he kissed me deep and slow
I was tired of longing tired of dreaming
Tired of fantasy
So I walked the aisle with a wounded smile
Hoping you could set me free

And I see as the years go by
The mistakes that we both made
I don't need to defend or blame
But I need to say that it was not in vain
Along the way the trials we fail
Come round and round again
But if your love has made me kinder
It was not in vain...

And I see as the years go by
The mistakes that we both made
I don't need to defend or blame
But I need to say that it was not in vain
