Lyrics

The congregation sang
We knelt and prayed
As we stood before God
On that beautiful day
Church bells rang
And the champagne flowed
As our friends gathered 'round
For the wedding photo
But here we are, barely five years on
And our whole world's falling apart
All the plans we had together
Up in smoke and gone forever
Poisoned by a lawyer's letter
It's over
I don't want our kids to suffer
Can we talk to one another?
You were once my wife, my lover
It's over
Rumours and whispers tear me apart
But I know you better than that
Inseparable were we
With a breeze in our sails
Now I feel a chilled wind
On the marriage that fell
And our friends are divided
They've taken their sides
Now they'll all sit back
And watch the circus unwind
I don't stand here trying to focus the blame
But I'm hurting deep down inside
All the pain and all the grieving
When did we stop believing?
Too late now to stop the bleeding
It's over
What's the sense in pointing fingers?
Who's the saint and who's the sinner?
There ain't gonna be a winner
It's over
Oh, my dear, what happened to us?
Tell me, where did it all go wrong?
What's the use in keep on fighting?
All the tears, all the crying
Why do we keep denying?
It's over
In all the time I thought I knew ya
Don't forget our children's future
I would do whatever suits ya
Oh, yeah
It's over
It's over
Yeah, it's over
