Monique Brumby - Janie lyrics

Janie got married in the middle of a desert Janie got married in the middle of a seasonal change But we knew it'd never work out anyway His best man lost the wedding ring What you thought you had has gone What you thought you had has gone Janie was always looking for perfection in a rose garden But it wasn't until the day he opened up his heart to find The most beautiful ones are the ones that fall apart What you thought you had has gone What you thought you had has gone What if you were to reconcile your insignificant, meaningless life Would you fade away, ah would you love And what if they saw those weeping eyes, would you let them know the sacrifice ah would you love ah would you love Janie got married way too young He didn't know who he was or where he was going You see him around these days and to look at him who could tell The life he had before he sure hides it well What you thought you had has gone What you thought you had has gone A new day dawns and with every small step Janie movies forward into the light and out of regret Regret for what his father showed him Of exactly how not to feel, how to hide emotion, how to not be real 'til all the love that came just slipped right through his hands Until his father was an old and bitter man Janie grew up in that and how was he to know That what his father reaped he must sow Until the hurt could mend after the way he treated his mum Helped pick up the pieces when his dad had up and gone All the scars we hide everyday What you thought you had has gone What you thought you had has gone What you thought you had has gone Hallelujah there's a new day that's dawning, hallelujah, hallelujah Janie got married in the middle of a desert Janie got married in the middle of a seasonal change
