VERSE 1:
Cath, she stands
With a well intentioned-man
But she can’t relax
With his hand on the small of her back
VERSE 2:
And as the flashbulbs burst,
She holds a smile
Like someone would hold
A crying child
CHORUS:
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
(x4)
VERSE 3:
Cath, it seems
That you live in someone else’s dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could’ve been, all repressed
VERSE 4:
But you said your vows
And you closed the door
On so many men
Who would’ve loved you more
CHORUS:
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
When your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
CHORUS:
The whispers that it won’t last roll up and down the pews
But if their hearts were dying that fast they’d have done
the same as you
And I’ve done the same as you
End on:
