The Day Before

A ring in my pocket, I thought you were the one,

Counted down the hours, pictured our vows beneath the sun,

Thought you’d be my future yeah my future wife,

To think I’d want you with me for the rest of my life,

All I wanted is your trust,

After what you did I look in disgust,

Then I saw the truth that hurt me that night,

Heard you laugh with someone else, my friends were right,

The day before I’d ask you for your hand, when I believed you were the one,

Crazy how a heart can be shattered and done,

I replay your words in the silence at night,

Caught between letting go and one last fight.

We planned our future, for kids and a home,

Little did I know I’d end up on my own,

The day before, you chose to walk out the door,

Left me here learning who I am once more,

Standing alone with a ring in my hand,

Nothing went the way that I planned,

I planned the venue, the songs and the first dance,

But you decided not to give me a single chance,

Every sacrifice I made, I’d thought you’d be mine,

But you chose someone else, you broke my heart and you think that’s fine,

Now our love is broken and that was your choice,

But your mind changed when you heard his voice,

You say you never hurt, you said I was the one,

But you gave into temptation, now the damage is done,

Now I’m standing at the place where I thought we’d be brought together,

Now my shattered heart is shattered forever,

My feelings in the past are now faded away,

I’m learning to love me, day by day,

We planned our future, for kids and a home,

Little did I know I’d end up on my own,

The day before, you chose to walk out the door,

Left me here learning who I am once more,

Standing alone with a ring in my hand,

Nothing went the way that I planned,

Now it’s clear that I wasn’t the one,

I thought and thought what have I done,

But now I know it wasn’t me it was you,

I gave you my all, you just never stayed true,

Now there’s 5 years I’ve wasted, I’ve been chasing a lie,

Giving you everything, until you said goodbye,

I choose not to hate, but let this part of my life go,

This part of my life has taught me I need to grow,

I lost myself trying to make the special day right,

But you did what you did and now I’m broken tonight,

You were a chapter, not my whole life,

I thought my life would change forever now I’m without a wife,

If love is the truth, then yours was pretend,

You made the choice, this is the end,

I’m done holding on,

We planned our future, for kids and a home,

Little did I know I’d end up on my own,

The day before, you chose to walk out the door,

Left me here learning who I am once more,

Standing alone with a ring in my hand,

Nothing went the way that I planned,

I put the ring in the box, keeping it for someone else,

Someone who treats me better and no one else,

You decided to cheat, so I chose my self respect,

I’ll forget what you did, the lies that you left,

You left me broken, you left me hurt,

This all happened when I saw you flirt,

You lost someone real,

The day before,

The day before,
