Commitment

Where to begin?
No one ever tells you that you lose your best friend
When you make her your wife

So let's talk about commitments and compromised positions
Let’s talk about learning to live with decisions
Cause we live in a world where no one wants to work
So we scream at each other just to be heard
And the louder it gets the more we forget that
Love's not a choice but we choose when to use it

So let's write a song without any words
And let the poetry be colored by the notes we disperse
Or we’ll still be singing these songs we penned
About the ones we once loved and have forgotten since
They all fade away

So let's toast to that same sad song
Raise your glasses to the fact that first impressions don't last long
Cause at the end of the day we'll have watched our beauty fade
Like the ink under the skin of the choices we've made

Save tonight and embrace these memories
The love we share will outlast this song
Save tonight cause there's nothing better here
The songs we sing will eventually all fade away

My dear friend, if it's really love you've found
Then hold it high and love it more even when it lets you down
...and it will

We all still trip on the bags that we’ve tethered to
The past we try and leave to become half of something better
And only when it leaves do we know exactly what its worth
It’s not worth your time, if you can't leave you hurt
And to make sure it stays you must leave everything
Including what you had with her before she wore a ring
So just blame these sad songs

So save tonight and embrace these memories
The love we share will outlive this song
Save tonight cause there’s nothing better here
The songs we sing will eventually all fade away

When it's good it's good and when it's bad it’s still better than every single thought you had before you were together
When it's good its good and when it's bad its still better than every single night you spent before you ever met her

Save tonight and embrace these memories
The love we give will out live these songs anyway
