For Worse Or Better

A marriage in trouble is the subject here, and the song refuses to look away from the hard part. The opening verses recall the beginning with a kind of giddy nostalgia — a partner compared to a wonder drug, two "crazy kids" who seemed to be stealing time rather than spending it. That brightness curdles in the chorus, where the same couple now finds itself "stuck in a dark night," scanning the horizon for a sunrise that hasn't come yet. What holds the song together is the vow itself: the phrase "for worse or for better" repeats like a heartbeat, less a triumphant declaration than a stubborn decision made over and over. The middle section is the rawest — standing alone, close to losing control, yet unable to let go, and honest enough to admit nobody warned them love would be this hard. The bridge turns defiant: no goodbyes, only the forever they once promised. It's a portrait of commitment as endurance rather than romance, and the closing repetition of "I could never live without you" lands as both a confession and a choice.
