Signed and Sealed

An envelope addressed to me
What could it be

It is therefore ordered and decreed
That the marriage between us
Is dissolved

Dissolved like sugar in the rain
Dissolved like love was just a stain
I gave you years I gave my name
And now it's paper all the same

Signed and sealed the end of us
Stamped in ink erased the trust
Signed and sealed my heart confined
A love reduced to dotted lines
Signed and sealed signed and sealed

And the parties are restored
To the status of single persons

Restored restored to what I was
A boy who begged for love because
I thought a vow could make me whole
But now a stamp divides my soul

Signed and sealed the fire's gone
The judge says over just move on
Signed and sealed the ink won't dry
No court can see how hard I cry
Signed and sealed signed and sealed

How can paper kill what fire once swore
How can a line erase what I'm living for
How can a seal mean love's undone
Was I a husband or just someone

Signed and sealed the page is torn
A life erased a love forlorn
Signed and sealed my name erased
I'm just a ghost in your empty space

Signed, sealed, done...
