lyrics

She’s married
Married to a memory
Clinging to a fantasy
When she could be loving me
Committed
To something that’ll never be
Married to a memory
When she could be loving me

And there may come a day
When everything works out
Although I must admit
I’ve really had my doubts
‘Cause she’s carried the weight
Of his love for so long
And even though he’s gone
She’s still wedded
To the pain he’s put her through
And there’s nothing anyone can do
She’s married to a memory

Here comes the bride dressed in black
She knows he’s never coming back
But she won’t give herself a break
Though he took her heart
And fed it to her
Like so much wedding cake
She loves him still
And she’s lost her will
To exist on more than memories

She’s married
Married to a memory
Clinging to a fantasy
When she could be loving me
Committed
To something that’ll never be
Married to a memory
When she could be loving me

And now she’s only out for fun
She swears she’ll give her heart to no one
She knows that’s no way to live
But you can’t give your heart to someone
When it’s not yours to give
She loves him still
And she’s lost her will
To erase unhappy memories

She’s married
Married to a memory
Clinging to a fantasy
When she could be loving me
Committed
To something that’ll never be
Married to a memory
When she could be loving me
And if she ever gets through this
She’ll be sorry for the love she’s missed
Married to a memory
