Verse 1: The invitation said plus one, I brought a bottle Two hours late because I couldn't find my shoes My sister's face when I walked in the church Like she knew, like she fucking knew I sat in the back and behaved myself Verse 2: Made it through the ceremony without a sound Drank through the photos, they didn't want me in them Found the open bar at the reception Barman knew my order before I said it Vodka tonic, double, keep them coming Chorus: I remember every word I said I remember every word I said Verse 3: Nobody asked me to make a speech But they forgot to take the microphone away I got up there during the father-daughter dance Our father's been dead three years I had some things to say about that Verse 4: Told them how she got the deposit for the house How daddy's money went to his favorite child How I got the medical bills and she got the life insurance How that works out, mathematically The music stopped, they were all just staring Chorus: I remember every word I said And I meant every fucking one Verse 5: Her new husband tried to take the microphone I told him to sit down, we both know what happened Told the room about the hotel bar six months ago After he proposed, before she knew He went pale, she went silent Verse 6: Said I didn't know he was taken until after That's a lie, I knew exactly who he was Said it just happened, that's another lie I texted him first, he came to my place And we both made that choice Bridge: And the thing is I practiced that speech Wrote it out the night before on hotel stationery Knew exactly what I wanted to say About family and money and who gets left behind I wasn't that drunk I was just that honest And honesty at weddings is a crime Apparently Verse 7: She texted me next morning, said don't contact her again I read it, deleted it, went back to sleep Woke up at 4pm to seventeen missed calls Blocked them all except hers Just in case she changes her mind Final Chorus: I remember every word I said I remember every word I said And I'd say them all again
