"On This Day" lyrics

It's the first of July
We've been making plans for over a year
Finally, this is the night
And I can't wait to see you, all dressed in white

They all said we wouldn't make it but look at us now
Everybody's standing up to see you walk down the aisle
Can't believe that we've made it this far
For the rest of my life, I'll surrender my heart

Everybody's waitin', the music's playin'
I start to think you should be here by now
Now my heart is racin', my hands are shakin'
That tellin' me you're gone

On this day, how could you leave me
How could you break my heart
On this day, you promise to love me
Until death do us part
You should've told me that you didn't wanna settle down
You should've told me that you didn't plan to stick around
I was so foolish, how could you do this
How could you leave me, on this day

Standing here holding this ring
Man I just can't believe she could do this to me
Mama's telling me it's gon' be alright
But I can't find the nerve to look her in the eye

I know that you had your issues
I really thought I could change you
They told me I shouldn't trust you
I thought that I knew the real you
Looking back I shouldn't know that something wasn't right
Everything I thought we had girl it was all a lie

So I didn't just say something to me
How could you leave me to find out this way
Now I'm hearing pieces the world can say it
You made a fool of me

On this day, how could you leave me
How could you break my heart
On this day, you promise to love me
Until death do us part
You should've told me that you didn't wanna settle down
Maybe you should've told me that you didn't plan to stick around
I was so foolish, how could you do this
How could you leave me, on this day

How could you
How could you
How could you leave me
On this day

How could you
How could you
How could you leave me
On this day
