She sat alone
with her party dress on
a blue~tear song
playin' in the background
the party dress
didn't look so good
anymore
a little bit too tight
pulling at the side seams
kinda faded and worn
but she wore it anyway
and that same old song
just made her feel
so **** sad
like it always did
every time she heard it
but she played it anyway
she put herself through
the same ritual
every single year
on this night
at this time
always the same
she thought he was
going to ask her to
marry him~that night
because he'd said
he had something to discuss
with her
so she got all pretty
wore a new dress
had the music playin'
lights down low
table for two
soft candlelight and wine
and hope in her heart
but it didn't turn out
like she planned
went all wrong
and the hope faded and died
while he sat across the table
held her hand
and told her
he was in love with someone else
she remembered trying
to keep hold of her dingity
trying not to let him see her eyes cry
or hear her heart break
or her voice tremble
when she told him it was okay
she succeeded until she heard
the door close behind him
and then she lost it
like she's been losing it ever since
every year
just like tonight
when she found herslef
at the same place
at the same time
with the same party dress on
same blue~tear song
playin' in the background
same memory to keep her company
