He was my intended
Proposed to me on bended
My lover
There would be no other
To hold me near always
For good for bad and for all days
But now I'm hurting
While he's out flirting
So I sit alone in my room
A bride without a groom
Those sunny days
Fade to shades of greys
Now I know the key but not the tune
I see the smiles for someone else
The flowers and rice for someone else
The families gather round
They come from out of town
She wears a snow white gown
For someone else
So why do I care
That life's so unfair
And why do I sigh
And why do I cry
And why can't I sleep at night
I was a fool in love I see it now
I was blinded then I don't know how
The nights I spent alone
Those hang-ups on the phone
The times he wasn't home
I see it now
So why do I care
That life's so unfair
And why do I sigh
And why do I cry
And why can't I sleep at night
Alone once again now I'm back at the start
With nothing but pain to fill my heart
The man I thought I knew
Found another love to woo
Now he shares a love so true
With someone else
Guess if I put my heart on the shelf
And drink to life and drink to health
If love comes round again
I'll forget about the pain
And do it all again
For someone else
