I thought I'd savor the day I gave her this ring
And I thought that all the world would sing
Of the joys that our love would bring
But the world didn't sing
But the world didn't sing
I'm not ashamed or too low but I'd like to think
That I had the whole world on a string
And now I'm not sure of anything
Cause the world didn't sing
Cause the world didn't sing
And with these hands I pray to you to understand
That this love that could last us until the end of time
And with this heart I promised you we'd never part
We'd start a fire to last us until the end of time
But now this ring reminds me of the pain I'm in
And all this time I've wasted has
Been building up inside
And now there's no rhyme or reason
In trying to force a change of season in our lives
The fire is out in our love
It's time to say good-bye
