Song Lyrics

I built a monument
To every word that passed between us
And I built a monument
To stand through history

And I watch the hourglass
The time will pass
You'll rue the day, love, (?)
When you ever strayed so far from me

I built a monument
To make the time more easy passing
And I built a monument
To stand up straight for me

When all is said and done
The time will come
It might be too low
You'll see a more romantic me

I built a monument
To all we were
I built a monument
To me and her

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

And I watch the hourglass
The time will pass
You'll rue the day, love, (?)
When 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

I built a monument
To all we were
I built a monument
To me and her
