it's a silly high-school thing
cheap marriage rings
she's had two of those before
ended up with less than more

the first was thin and gold
easily bent and lost
a month with no love shared
a month where she never dared

the second was true and silver
engraved words of a lover
she thought "now this'll last foever."
as she drowned in a tear-made river

it's a silly thing
these cheap marriage rings
she's lost two of those before
and would gladly lose a hundred more
