For richer, For poorer!?!

I wonder what you would say

If I told you why I was crying

I wonder if you would stay

If I told you I was lying

When I told you I was fine

But I was really hurting

Sweat of fear down my spine

Tears of guilt cloud my eyes

Clouds of regret fill the skies

The dark sky is no limit

To the pain I feel inside

The truth crushes my spirit

But from it, no more I can hide

I promised you golden wings

And told you to the moon we will fly

I promised you expensive things

Everything i knew money can buy

I promised you a rainbow crown

And a king size diamond ring

I promised you Armani prive' gown

And a silver platter dinner with the king

I told you you’ll be my queen

Am sorry for tricking you into loving me

For with a better man you’d rather be

I can not afford all the precious things I promised you

Poverty is a word you never knew

In my case, it is like hair on super glue

But it wouldn’t matter if your love is true

For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…

Please tell me if you will still say, “Yes I do”
