lyrics

You saved a spot for my sister to stand up in our wedding,
My sister won't be there because there won't be a wedding...
There are things that I've been dreading and often times forgetting,
I need to let you know before it gets too soon...
I need to let you go before the first of June...

You asked about groomsmen and if I had room for another,
You said it'd mean a lot to you if one could be your brother...
How can I face your mother and continue to keep this under cover?
I need to let you know before it gets too soon...
I need to let you go before your life is ruined...

All this time you were right,
All this time was a lie...

So we go to classes so the priest can test the waters,
He asks lots of questions, like will we have sons and daughters?
How long will he keep us guessing for a not-so-wanted blessing?
If he was half a man, he'd do the right thing...
Maybe if he's half a man, she'll give back the ring...

All this time you were right,
All this time was a lie…
I'm sorry…
All this time you were right,
All this time was a lie...

I hope you hear this song so that I don't keep you waiting...
How could I take so long? How could I be so degrading?
Are you something I'll be missing? Am I failing as a Christian?
Now that I have let you know, I pray you'll understand...
Now that I have let you know, you'll find the right man...
Now that I have let you know, could I take back the ring?
Now that I have let you go, I swear I hear your family sing...

"All this time we were right..."
All this time you were right...
"All this time was a lie..."
All this time was a lie…

I hope you hear this song so that I don't keep you waiting...
