Vows

I wish there was a stranger
Sitting in this room
Our eyes could meet each other’s for the first time
Now it’s just my family
A bloodshot bride
And a wasted groom
Maybe there’s an angel
Laughing at us now
Trying to tell us something that we should’ve learned
We should have learned
Are you listening to me now?
I used to have this dream you know
But I let it slip away
Traded it for something I knew I could have
But never really wanted
Are you listening to me now?
I wish I could say something
Instead of sitting here numb
I wish my mind, i wish my mind
Was not such a loaded gun
I wish i was a stranger
Sitting in this room
Our eyes could meet each other’s for the first time
But now it’s too late for all that
