i would have.

i would have liked to be your bride..

but then again you never tried...

to be the man i thought you were,

to be the man you knew you weren't.

Seasons have passed, and hearts have changed...

from wishful thinking that nearly stopped my breathing,

to hating you and loving living.

The hate finally died, when i let myself cry...

But then you came back, like death never does

And told me something, something I wanted to hear,

a long time ago, when i didn't have many years.

You said you'd like me to be your bride

You'd like to always have me by your side

to make you feel strong, like you're never wrong

to make me feel needed, like i have a life.

You stopped right there, cause then it was my turn,

to tell you the truth, about how i had burned

So i looked at you and said,

like all girls do when their heart is dead,

"I would have liked to be your bride...

but then again you never tried."
