the marriage pact

tonight you'll sing your songs in front of
all the people
and i'll smile at you from the back
of the room

and i'll sing along softly
thinking
of you and me
when i was a bride
and you a groom

what if we saw the same things?
oh, the songs we'd sing
if you knew the bright that he brings
wouldn't that change 
everything?

so tonight you'll sing your words
painting pictures
of destruction
of a boy's life

and i'll listen wistfully
thinking
that girl could be me
except i've gone and done
what's right

what if we saw the same things?
oh, the songs we'd sing
and if you knew the bright he brings
that would change
everything
