We are gathered here together for
They look each other in the eye,
they take each other's hand
They once promised love forever,
now they're here to take it back
They don't hate each other,
but they need to cut each other's slack
They'd give back the wedding gifts
except they've all been used
Please forgive them if they both
They had no idea that on the day
they made their wedding vow
That love could lead them to where
And they are sorry for the angry
words they didn't really mean
they just let off too much steam
And they apologize for everything
that ever brought on tears
And they hope that when they look back,
they won't regret these years.
Their plans for the future just
Pieces drifted aimlessly,
landed all over the place
No way that they could pick them
So they dust themselves off, shake hands,
but let's not raise our voice
Be glad we had the wisdom,
be glad we had the choice
To admit our failures, then move on
No use to keep trying when
you know the love is gone
And perhaps in the future when
we think back to this day
We'll smile and be grateful that
things worked out this way
We leave with lighter hearts
Knowing some of us are better off
