Monument I built a monument to every word that's passed between us And I built a monument to stand through history And I watch the hourglass, the time will pass And you'll rue the day, love You ever strayed so far from me
And I built a monument to make the time more easy-passing And I built a monument to stand up straight and free When all's been said and done, the time will come And it might be soon love You'll see it more romantically
I built a monument to all we were I built a monument to me and her
But now she's coming back
The roof is cracked, the walls are falling And all those bitter words will float back to the scene And I watch the hourglass, the time will pass And you'll rue the day love 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 to you I built a monument to all we were, ooh I built a monument to all we were, ooh
