The Plastic Vow

Waking up next to you is not what I had in mind I know your inlove but I wish we could rewind. A vow was made obligation overplayed why did I proceed because in marriage I don't believe. white satin, decadent cake 100 guests watched by the lake. I tried my best to put on a smile with the groom not realizing he was in denial. This special day is such a waste because when years go by it'll be replaced. I didn't want to hurt anyone I wasn't looking out for me I hoped i'd eventually fall for you and build our family tree. I care for you but I have to walk away because I know in the end it would be me who would betray.
