I saw it happen

 

Best dress to her, I had my worst on

Was her best day, to me one I wish I never lived 

I saw it happen; part of me peeling off

The day I lost; part of me giving up

Could do nothing, just watch 

Watch and watch

Happiest six months of my life 

Had fun with him, thought I had no hill to climb

Trips and tips with him, thought had found mine 

Only changed when the family came in, her mom to him: I wasn't worthy

Only changed when responsibility came; 

I wasn't worthy

My learned half was the family pride

His mom controlled everything, his life, his love strides 

Met him at the local company cafeteria, my pride

Lost him once I saw the mom, match collide

Pretends to love the other one now, his mother's bride

His mother's bride...

I saw it happen

The old scars deepen

Married the suitor he was given

Left me in the cold, I the suitor not given

I the love never loved...

I saw it happen...
