I stood before God, my family and friends And vowed that I'd never love anyone else again Only him As pure a s my gown of white I stood by his side And promised that I'd love you Till the day I died Lord, please forgive me Even though I lied 'Cause you're the only one who knows Just how hard I tried Chorus: I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands The woman in me needed the warmth of a man The gold turned cold in my wedding band It's just a ring on your finger When there's time on your hands When I add up all the countless nights I cried myself to sleep And all the broken promises You somehow failed to keep He can't blame me He's the one who left me too many times alone In a three bedroom prison I tried to make a home My love slowly died But the fire inside still burned And the arms of a stranger Was the only place left to turn Chorus (2x)
