How can she say, she's lost without him
He's not a compass, he never was 
How can she say, "life has no meaning?" 
Life meant something before he came along, it still does 
How can she say he stole her heart
You can't steal what's given away 
Love isn't blind, but sometimes it's short sighted 
And if you're not careful you can lose your way 

For as long as I've known her, she's either been with someone, 
Breaking up with someone, or dating five or six men, 
Looking for that special someone.

Her warmth, her sense of humor. 
Everywhere we'd go, she'd always be the center of attention, 
Without ever trying to be.

And even they began to think of themselves as the perfect couple.

How can she say, she's lost without him 
He's not a compass, he never was
How can she say "life has no meaning?" 
Life meant something before he came along, it still does. 
How can she say he stole her heart
You can't steal what's given away
Love isn't blind, but sometimes its short sighted 
And if you're not careful you can lose your way

At the wedding, his friends clapped him on the back, 
Congratulated him. Not knowing he never quite felt he measured up to her standards. 
Neither did he, nor did we know that her entire sense of self esteem 
Was directly tied to whomever was the current man in her life. 
To hear him discuss it, he says that every day during the last two years of their 
Marriage he
