Before the war
This was a church
Before the war
Came in through the roof

They left the rubble
For all the tourists
They fenced it all of
Because of insurance

I sat at the back
With your invitation
And witnessed the vows
To your secular wedding

And thought how I never told her
How close we were for
Hope not to lose her
But I lost you both

Before our parents were born
This church had a steeple
But it held all the secrets
Off all those dead people

A few years ago
Said you named every day
Before we decided
To throw our friendship away

But still I never told her
How close we were
I never told her
I never told her
How close we were for
Hope not to lose her
But I lost you both

And as you stand alone
In your weddingdress
It wouldn't matter now
If I was to infest

But we were younger than
And noone ever knew
What you meant to me
And what I meant to you

Stared at the names
When your invitation
Stood up slowly
When your standing ovation
Sun shone through the glass
Used to be stain
It followed you out
But the ruins remain
