She promised yes, he said he'd never break her heart
But time moves faster than our hearts can reconsider
She said yes and took the ring, on heart full of scars
He came back from war, she'd taken it off her finger
He'd known, she'd found another, or something other
But by now he'd seen so much, heart so cold didn't feel
She didn't want to be his lover, he didn't want a mother
And in the end they were friends, easier to just be real
But still hurts, breaking promises, hearts, and souls
