[female vocals] Verse 1
You
made
a
promise
before
God
and
man,
To
hold
my
heart
with
gentle
hands.
I
gave
you
my
youth,
my
dreams,
my
name,
But
somewhere
along
the
way,
everything
changed.
The
smile
I
wore
slowly
disappeared,
Replaced
by
nights
of
silent
tears.
The
weight
of
the
pain
became
too
much
to
bear,
Even
my
heart
carried
what
words
couldn't
share.
Pre-Chorus
They
say
a
broken
heart
is
only
a
phrase,
But
I
lived
it
every
single
day.
The
love
I
needed
slowly
faded
away.
Chorus
Don't
cheat
on
the
woman
who
built
a
home
with
you.
Don't
break
the
heart
that
prayed
for
you.
Every
lie
leaves
a
scar
no
one
can
see,
But
the
deepest
wounds
remain
for
eternity.
Your
children
see
more
than
you
realize,
They
feel
their
mother's
silent
cries.
A
faithful
heart
deserves
love
too,
Not
to
be
replaced
by
someone
new.
Verse 2
Why
must
I
beg
before
you
give?
Why
must
I
fight
just
to
truly
live?
My
dreams
were
left
upon
the
shelf,
While
someone
else
received
your
help.
You
believed
in
another
woman's
future,
Paid
her
school
fees,
helped
her
rise,
Encouraged
her
to
chase
her
dreams,
While
mine
slowly
faded
before
my
eyes.
I
wasn't
asking
for
riches
or
fame,
Only
for
you
to
believe
in
me
the
same.
To
stand
beside
me,
lift
me
higher,
Instead
of
watching
my
hope
expire.
Bridge
I
was
your
wife,
your
friend,
your
home.
Why
did
I
have
to
walk
this
road
alone?
Sixteen
years,
yet
we
stand
so
far
apart,
Living
together
with
disconnected
hearts.
Final
Chorus
A
marriage
cannot
survive
on
vows
alone,
Love
must
be
shown,
not
merely
known.
Choose
your
wife
before
it's
too
late,
Before
love
becomes
only
regret.
Heal
the
home,
heal
the
pain,
Let
broken
hearts
beat
whole
again.
Because
no
family
should
have
to
pay
For
the
price
of
love
thrown
away.
Outro (
Prayer)
Lord,
heal
every
wounded
wife.
Restore
every
broken
home.
Teach
husbands
to
cherish
their
wives,
To
protect
their
hearts,
encourage
their
dreams,
and
love
them
as
Christ
loves
the
Church.
May
every
marriage
find
healing,
faithfulness,
and
restoration.
Amen.
