Song A Week #8 Theme: Betrayal

You promised
promised your yes, to make me your man
you left in a hurry
A wake of pain along the way

the years with you were still on display in my shrine of loving memories

could you really not have meant them?
the words you said on that day?
could we really not have changed them?
the things that made you go away.
If only you had known

It's hard to,
believe that you don't, need me by your side,
you said you had tried though,
it seemed like a lie when I looked in your eyes

I'm left with a ring, that I cannot wear, look at or sell or return

could you really not have meant them?
the words you said on that day?
could we really not have changed them?
the things that made you go away.
If only you had known

Now that the ring is buried,
and the shrine restored anew
I'm happy 
and I hope you are too

could you really not have meant them?
the words you said on that day?
could we really not have changed them?
the things that made you go away.
If only you had known

If Only You Had Known

The one of the Bremen Town Musicians that everyone forgot.

If Only You Had Known
