Lyrics
[intro]
[verse]
EIGHTEEN YEARS THE RING STAYED ON MY LEFT HAND
DEVOTED TO OUR LOVE THOUGHT YOU'D UNDERSTAND
THEN YOU WENT OUT WITH THE BOYS FOR A WHILE
TOOK OFF YOUR RING WITH A CHEATING SMILE
[pre-chorus]
IS THIS RESPECT YOU GIVE WHILE I'M HOME ALONE
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IS THIS HOW YOU'VE GROWN
DID YOU THINK I'D NEVER SEE THROUGH YOUR LIES
OR BELIEVE I'D JUST CLOSE MY EYES
[chorus]
I MIGHT BE NAIVE BUT I'M NOT INSANE
OUR LOVE'S AN OPEN SHUT CASE PLAIN
SUNDAY MORNING DOING LAUNDRY BLUE
FOUND YOUR RING IN YOUR POCKET THE TRUTH SHOWED THROUGH
[verse]
EMOTIONS CAME CRASHING LIKE WAVES ON THE SAND
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL OR WHERE TO STAND
BUT ONE THING WAS CLEAR AS THE TEARS IN MY EYES
I WOULDN'T BE THE ONE TO COMPROMISE
[pre-chorus]
IS THIS WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF ALL WE SHARED
AFTER EVERY PROMISE YOU SWORE YOU CARED
DID YOU REALLY THINK I'D LET YOU STAY
WHEN YOU THREW EVERYTHING RIGHT AWAY
[chorus]
I MIGHT BE NAIVE BUT I'M NOT INSANE
OUR LOVE'S AN OPEN SHUT CASE PLAIN
SUNDAY MORNING DOING LAUNDRY BLUE
FOUND YOUR RING IN YOUR POCKET THE TRUTH SHOWED THROUGH
