You Married Before I Could

【Verse 1】

The plane‑tree by the lane fades with passing years

All fallen words of love wither away in tears

I count the rings, waiting for you to appear

You said you’d wear the most beautiful wedding gown, my dear

Yet in a blink, all of your plans disappear

You walk hand‑in‑hand with him right in front of me here

You say “I’m sorry”, a quiet, regretful tone

I reach for your hand, trying to make you stay home

But you hand me a red wedding invitation alone

I take it with a smile, then my tears freely flow

You never look back, drifting further and slow

Our love has reached its final end we know

【Chorus】

I haven’t tied the knot, yet you’ve married him already

All my waiting was nothing but a silly fable ready

Those promises of forever, how hollow they could be

They fell before the girl who came later to thee

I haven’t tied the knot, yet you’ve married him already

Trapped in my memories, I struggle endlessly

Your happiness becomes the scar deep inside of me

Only falling snowflakes keep me company, whispering to me

Telling me I need to set your memory free

【Verse 2】

I heard you picked the spot we used to often roam

I heard you’d give up everything just to be with him at home

Friends speak of you with caution, afraid to stir my pain

Afraid the old memories will make my eyes weep again

I stop for a long time by the bridal shop’s bright glass

You once told me to wait, so I could make you my wife at last

But now there is no chance left for me to ever try

To place that wedding veil gently over your head and eye

【Chorus】

I haven’t tied the knot, yet you’ve married him already

All my waiting was nothing but a silly fable ready

Those promises of forever, how hollow they could be

They fell before the girl who came later to thee

I haven’t tied the knot, yet you’ve married him already

Trapped in my memories, I struggle endlessly

Your happiness becomes the scar deep inside of me

Only falling snowflakes keep me company, whispering to me

Telling me I need to set your memory free

【Bridge】

Maybe I was far too naive and blind

Thinking our love would wait for me with time

Now I can only wish you well from far away

“Wish you happiness” is my final lie I have to say

【Chorus‑Outro】

I haven’t tied the knot, yet you’ve married him already

All my waiting was nothing but a silly fable ready

Those promises of forever, how hollow they could be

They fell before the girl who came later to thee

I haven’t tied the knot, yet you’ve married him already

Trapped in my memories, I struggle endlessly

Your happiness becomes the scar deep inside of me

Only falling snowflakes keep me company, whispering to me

Telling me I need to set your memory free
