3. crumpled vows

I know it's hard to talk about something you haven't experience
But sometimes singers sing about death, poets describe heaven
So maybe it applies to the youth talking about how complicated is marriage
Just because we're living on the same roof, ozone layer, and solar system.

So she'll just make the rings roll to the red sea with despair
And the astonishing white wedding gown disappear into ashes
The beautiful bouquet into a vase that  was actually meant for a wake
Because their honeymoon was the perfect place to start the battle in vain.
She saw a blue diamond earing under the hardwood bed.

It's also hard to talk about something that doesn't exist in your country
Only an annulment is as much as close to separating happily
So much for the "I love you forever" and "I'll never leave you alone"
Because all she got was rumors, gossips, and lots of "it's going to be alright".

So she'll just leave him alone with his more beautiful mistress now
And the seven kids will have her surname and live in her mother's house
The hopeless romantic she has always believed in is going to be over now
Because all she got was backstabs, never-ending lectures and crumpled vows.
