Not in Vain Lyrics
thirty-one, I’d had my fun,
I wore my wedding shoes
it’s time I said and I filled my head
with all the other lies we use
all that night, the storm outside,
the pounding of the rain
and in my heart I knew one day
we’d go our separate ways
the more you cried the more I tried
but I could not let him go
like the dress I wore those years before
when he kissed me deep and slow
but I was tired of longing, tired of
dreaming, tired of fantasy
so I walked the aisle with a wounded
smile hoping you could set me free
and I see, as the years go by,
the mistakes that we both made
I don’t need to defend or blame,
but I need to say that it was not in vain
along the way the trials we fail
come ’round and ’round again
But if your love has made me kinder
it was not in vain
and I see, as the years go by,
the mistakes that we both made
I don’t need to defend or blame,
but I need to say that it was not in vain
I wore my wedding shoes
it’s time I said and I filled my head
with all the other lies we use
all that night, the storm outside,
the pounding of the rain
and in my heart I knew one day
we’d go our separate ways
the more you cried the more I tried
but I could not let him go
like the dress I wore those years before
when he kissed me deep and slow
but I was tired of longing, tired of
dreaming, tired of fantasy
so I walked the aisle with a wounded
smile hoping you could set me free
and I see, as the years go by,
the mistakes that we both made
I don’t need to defend or blame,
but I need to say that it was not in vain
along the way the trials we fail
come ’round and ’round again
But if your love has made me kinder
it was not in vain
and I see, as the years go by,
the mistakes that we both made
I don’t need to defend or blame,
but I need to say that it was not in vain
