I smiled for you

As you passed by

I couldn't let you see me cry

You looked so proud then you turned away

What's best for you is killing me

I didn't know it'd be this hard

I know you had to go

But why'd you go so far

I always knew this day would come

Was there something I could have done

To change your mind to keep you here with me

And though I wish you could have stayed

You had to follow your heart

I know you had to go

But why'd you go so far

And today it's a beautiful day

Perfect accept for the tears on my face

You're in your best standing there

Promises are in the air

And here she comes to take your ring and your name

Just two words you'll become one

And you will leave me torn apart

I know you had to go

But why'd you go so far

I know you had to go

But why'd you go so far
