The ballad of Tess McViegh

The house is quiet a glass of wine sits nearby
Just me and my box of memories for one last night
Tomorrow is coming soon with so many things anew
The ride has been so fast like a whirlpool
The picture of me denies my feelings it was all just yesterday
So young and innocent a heart full of hope and dreams
Independent and strong how I've come such a long way
This little girl would be proud of how she's turned out to be

All that I've become will soon be undone
The girl I used to be will belong to someone other than me
Ill walk down the aisle to their smiles and burning pride
But it's the same path full of tears and goodbyes

Somebody's mother somebody's wife
A place in the background I hadn't designed for my life
There'll be who I was before and the woman I've become
Why is there a line the cuts me in two
Would I be losing my grip should have dipped my foot in the river to see
Cause taking the plunge has made it hard for me to find my feet
Why am I grieving and not tears of joy for the love I'm receiving
Not a whispered doubt of his love he's hidden from me

All that I've become will soon be undone
The girl I used to be will belong to someone other than me
Ill walk down the aisle to their smiles and burning pride
But it's the same path full of tears and goodbyes

I was led to believe with a dark secret kept from me
What you decide thru thick and thin your life should be
The unbreakable bond finally found it's weakest link
With the odds not in my favour it forced me to think
Am I settling taking the best that I can get?
Or is this what was destined for me
I don't wanna be trying to forget I don't want a heart of regret
I don't want to hold it together for someone other than me

All that I've become will soon be undone
The girl I used to be will belong to someone other than me
Ill walk down the aisle to their smiles and burning pride
But it's the same path full of tears and goodbyes
