Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cath...
She stands
With a well-intentioned man
But she can't
Relax
With his hand
On the small of her back
As the flash bulbs burst
She holds a smile
Like someone would hold
A cryin' child
[Verse 2]
And soon everybody will ask
What became of you
'Cause your heart was dyin' fast
And you didn't know what to do
[Verse 3]
Cath...
It seems
That you live
In someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down
Weddin' dress
Where the things
That could have been
Are oppressed
But you said your vows
And you closed the door
On so many men
Who would have loved you more
[Verse 4]
And soon everybody will ask
What became of you
'Cause your heart was dyin' fast
And you didn't know what to do
[Verse 5]
The whispers that it won't last
Roll up and down the pews
But if their hearts were dyin' that fast
They'd have done the same as you
And I'd have done the same as you
