You Don't Anymore
Love's Unbroken Promise: When I Said I Do, I Did, But You Don't Anymore
Lyrics
We stood at the altar, repeating our vows for life
We exchanged vows at the altar, committing to a lifelong partnership.
For better or worse, forever a husband and wife
We pledged to support each other through good and bad times as husband and wife.
Love's not always easy and dreams don't all come true
Love is challenging, and not all dreams become reality.
Why'd you lose your faith in me, I never gave up on you
Questioning why trust was lost, as the speaker remained faithful.
When I said, I do, I did
The commitment made at marriage was sincere and genuine.
And the words were truly spoken
The vows were spoken with honesty and authenticity.
I gave you my heart to hold
The speaker gave their heart to the partner, expecting it to be cherished.
Thinking it would go unbroken
Trusting that the heart would not be broken.
You've drifted so far you can't see the stars
Expressing distance and the inability to see shared aspirations.
We wished upon before
Referencing dreams and wishes made together that seem distant now.
When I said, I do, I did, but you don't anymore
Despite the commitment, the partner no longer shares the same dedication.
These days nobody seems to try
Observing a lack of effort from both parties in preserving the relationship.
To love through the hard times instead of just saying good-bye
Highlighting a tendency to give up rather than working through difficulties.
We built this world around us, together hand in hand
Emphasizing the joint effort in building their world together.
If you decide to walk away it won't change where I stand
Stating that the speaker's stance won't change even if the partner decides to leave.
When I said, I do, I did
Reiterating the sincerity of the commitment made at marriage.
And the words were truly spoken
Confirming that the words spoken were genuine and heartfelt.
I gave you my heart to hold
Giving the heart to the partner, trusting it won't be broken.
Thinking it would go unbroken
Expressing disappointment at the perceived betrayal and distance.
You've drifted so far you can't see the stars
Describing the partner's emotional distance, making shared dreams unreachable.
We wished upon before
Referencing the unreachable dreams and wishes made together.
When I said, I do, I did, but you don't anymore
Reaffirming the commitment made, acknowledging the partner's changed dedication.
