Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember when you said with this ring I Thee wed
Now you've gone betrayed my trust rings of gold have turned to rust
Tears can't wash away the sin love that's dead can't live again
Knowin' there's no hope for us turns these rings of gold to rust
Plans we made just yesterday sands of time had chipped away
Now they've crumbled into dust rings of gold had turned to rust
[ violin - dobro ]
Love before was clean and pure never more can I be sure
You will not betray mu trust rings of gold had turned to rust mhmm mhm

Line by Line Meaning

I remember when you said with this ring I Thee wed
I recall the solemn promises we made during our wedding ceremony and exchanged rings as a symbol of our commitment to each other


Now you've gone betrayed my trust rings of gold have turned to rust
You have proven to be unfaithful and broken the trust that we had built over time, making our relationship and its cherished symbols now worthless and tarnished


Tears can't wash away the sin love that's dead can't live again
No amount of tears or apologies can erase the hurt that I feel, and our once passionate and vibrant love has now withered beyond repair and can't be rekindled


Knowin' there's no hope for us turns these rings of gold to rust
Realizing that there's no future for us and our love is gone, the once precious, valuable rings we shared now seem worthless and corroded


Plans we made just yesterday sands of time had chipped away
Our dreams and aspirations we had made for our future together have crumbled and disintegrated over time like sand eroded by the unstoppable force of time


Now they've crumbled into dust rings of gold had turned to rust
Our once grand plans now disintegrated into nothingness, and our once valuable rings have now tarnished, and devalued like dust

I will not allow myself to be hurt by you again, and our once valuable and cherished rings are now worthless, symbolizing the end of what was once a loving and committed relationship
