Well there was a little falter at the altar of confession
Down on its knees, true love did fall
After 31 days of sleepless nights, she woke up to end it all.
With "I love you" on a fresh tattoo engraved upon his chest

She tore her name right off his heart
So here's to the unblessed.

Chorus:
Oh love, Oh love, you fickle thing
Such pretty words, and golden rings.
It was a broken dream right from the start
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts.

Well a blast of confusion, coupled with delusion
Makes the best made plans sometime fail.
They wined and they dined, had piece of mind
She bought a gown and he rented tails.
But the mighty cloud of destiny, came driftin' though the gates
And busted up what could have been a perfect, hopeless case.

Chorus:
Oh love, Oh love, you fickle thing
Such pretty words, and golden rings.
It was a broken dream right from the start
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts.

Chorus:
Oh love, Oh love, you fickle thing
Such pretty words, and golden rings.
It was a broken dream right from the start
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts.
