A Ring That Never Fit

Verse 1

We stood in that little white chapel, just off Highway 9

Preacher read the vows while you held onto mine

Your hand felt a little uneasy, but I brushed it aside

Guess I saw what I wanted, not the truth in your eyes

Chorus

It was a ring that never fit, no matter how we tried

Slipped between the promises we couldn’t keep inside

We wore it like forever, but it felt like pretend

Yeah, it was a ring that never fit from the start to the end

Verse 2

There’s a picture on the dresser, turned face down in shame

Two young hearts smilin’, but they don’t look the same

All those late-night silences, all those unsaid words

Built a wall between us neither one of us could turn

Chorus

It was a ring that never fit, no matter how we tried

Slipped between the promises we couldn’t keep inside

We wore it like forever, but it felt like pretend

Yeah, it was a ring that never fit from the start to the end

Bridge

Now there’s a line on your finger where the gold used to be

And a deeper kind of emptiness where you used to need me

Chorus

It was a ring that never fit, no matter how we tried

Slipped between the promises we couldn’t keep inside

We wore it like forever, but it felt like pretend

Yeah, it was a ring that never fit from the start to the end

Outro

Just a circle of memories we can’t undo…

A ring that never fit me and you…
