I thought I fell in love when I was 18.
With you cruising main street dreaming up our lives
We had bigger plans than staying there in Jackson.
Come summertime I made a pretty bride.
We got married in the baptist church on state street
No daddy there to walk me down the aisle.
My momma never could pin down a good man.
So I swore to god that we would do things right.
[CHORUS]
But marriage ain't the end of being lonely.
Sometimes it feels like its the start.
Cause the years keep rolling on and all I know for sure,
There's so many little ways to break a heart.
Well our demons didn't take too long to show up.
Turns out when I drink I like to fight
And then you'd leave the house and wouldn't tell me where you went to ease your sorrows late at night
And we fought for 3 whole days when I got pregnant.
Where I disappeared to, no one knew.
When I came home I carried myself different, it was all the growing up i had to do.
[CHORUS]
Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely.
Sometimes it feels like it's the start.
The years keep rolling on and all I know for sure,
There's so many ways your world can fall apart.
Well we cant hide our claws, our teeth, our anger.
The fire's hot and this could last all night.
The air is thick with things we haven't said yet.
But we're saving them for when they burn just right.
And I hang on to suffering like it's a winning hand.
Waiting my turn to cash it all in.
And how we stay together I'll never understand
Somedays I think that God is up there, laughing at my plans.
[CHORUS]
Cause marriage ain't the end of being lonely
Sometimes it feels like it's the start
The years keep rolling on and all I now for sure
There's so many little ways to break a heart.
Oh the years keep rolling on and all I know for sure,
There's so many ways your world can fall apart.
