Monument

I built a monument

To every word that passed between us

And I built a monument

To stand through history

And I watch the hourglass

The time will pass

You'll rue the day, love, (?)

When you ever strayed so far from me

I built a monument

To make the time more easy passing

And I built a monument

To stand up straight for me

When all is said and done

The time will come

It might be too low

You'll see a more romantic me

I built a monument

To all we were

I built a monument

To me and her

Now she's coming back

The roof is cracked

And the walls are falling

And all those bitter words

Will flow back to the sea

And I watch the hourglass

The time will pass

You'll rue the day, love, (?)

When you ever strayed so far from me

I built a monument

To all we were

I built a monument

To me and her

And only we can knock it down now

I built a monument

To all we were

I built a monument

To me and her

I built a monument

To all we were

I built a monument

To me and her
