Was it love or was it contentment,
That led me to tie myself down?
Whatever, it turned to resentment,
And a smile changed to a frown.
Now the feeling of being encumbered,
Left us cold and we both could tell;
The night scenes filled were outnumbered,
By the nights out, so we bid farewell.
Now I made what I took for granted,
I didn't know that I would at the time;
I just wasn't sure what I wanted,
And now life has no reason or rhyme.
Now hindsight is better than foresight,
And as I look back through the years,
I see my life in a new light,
And I wish that I had spared all those tears.
Now I made what I took for granted,
I didn't know that I would at the time;
I just wasn't sure what I wanted,
And now life has no reason or rhyme,
And now life has no reason or rhyme.
