When you took...
Verse 1:
When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist
Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what you did
So don't even think for one second you're following me in
My parents are home, so is my kid
Pre-Chorus:
Just go on. That house that you hate
That house that we bought and failed to make
Verse 2:
When you took that ring off, I sat there stunned
Parked out in my car, surprised at what you'd done
The courage that must have took left me utterly speechless
And though it came as no surprise I still couldn't believe it
Pre-Chorus:

You'll never be happy
You'll never be happy
Chorus:
But it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
You held on tight and for dear life
But it was all for nothing
Verse 3:
When you took that ring off, threw it at your feet
You didn't say a word, much less look at me
The courage that must have took I just couldn't believe it
In that moment you were perfect, and it made all the bullsh*t seem worth it
Chorus:
But it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
You held on tight and for dear life
But it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
You held on tight
(Held on tight)
And for dear life
(For dear life)
But it was all for nothing
(Held on tight and for dear life)

(We held on tight and for dear life)

Pre Chorus: (Play Pre-Chorus riff)
Just go on. That house that you hate
That house that we bought and failed to make
Pre-Chorus:
But it was all for nothing
Yeah it was all a waste
And now you'll never be happy
You'll never be happy
Chorus:
Cause it was all for nothing
It was all a waste
You held on tight and for dear life
But it was all for nothing
Yea it was all a waste
You held on tight
(Held on tight and)
And for dear life
(For dear life)
But it was all for nothing
(We held on tight and for dear life)
Outro:
When you took off that ring
(We held on tight and for dear life)
When you took off that ring
(We held on tight)
