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

And now she's coming back
The roof is cracked and the walls are falling
Then all those bitter words
Will flow back to the sea
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 the end

I built a monument
To all we were

I built a monument
To all we were
