[Verse 1: Female Vocals] The place cards spell our names in gold Your mother counts the chairs twice A borrowed veil hangs by the door Like somebody already left tonight [Verse 1: Female Vocals] You squeeze my hand beneath the table Smile wide for every camera flash The cake knife catches blue-white light And I hear your old life in the glass [Pre-Chorus: Female Vocals] Say you love me for the photograph Say it clean so nobody asks [Chorus: Female Vocals] This is our wedding nightmare White flowers, locked doors, thin air You kiss me like a promise borrowed Then disappear before tomorrow This is our wedding nightmare Your ring feels cold, but you stand there Everybody cheers when we say yes I’m the only one who hears the threat [Verse 2: Male Vocals] The DJ calls us to the center Your best friend won’t meet my eyes [Verse 2: Female Vocals] A lipstick mark on your collar Turns darker under chandelier light I find a room behind the kitchen Boxes marked with someone else’s date Inside, a dress with my measurements And a note that says, “Don’t make him wait” [Bridge: Female Vocals] Take off the veil Turn off the lights Tell me the truth Before midnight If I walk out Will you follow me? Or will you marry The version they believe? [Verse 3: Cold Male Voice] Sounds like buyers remorse but you already signed your name on the line Correct me if Im wrong but I wanna get it right this time They said "Till Death Do Us Part" is that something you wish to execute at this time. So be careful with which words work up the wonder to welcome you to the worse wedding nightmare if there ever was one. Im the man you took.... Im the man I was yesterday Im still the man I was when your father gave you away. There's never been a threat you'll always be alone with that thinking I made a promise in front of God and every soul so believe me a thousand percent. YOU CAN GO! You wanna be led but wont let me lead please help me with the understanding of where were standing I put your name beside mine. I put it in gold. [Beat Drop] [Rap: Male Voice] If im to be held accountable for being unable to provide for my bride then lets bring to the forefront a bunch of left unopened conversations- You bringing a headache to the table and no aspirin is asking a lot of me. I'm not your father. I'm your husband and the way ownership is reciprocated I own you- That should have set in before I date was locked in. I'll do what the Fuck I want with my Possessions. this is less of a confession and more of a fact. As a matter of fact Im done talking about it. [Final Chorus] This is our wedding nightmare White flowers, locked doors, thin air You kiss me like a promise borrowed Then disappear before tomorrow This is our wedding nightmare The band keeps playing, no one cares Everybody cheers when we say yes I’m the only one who hears the threat [Outro] The place cards spell our names in gold By morning, mine is gone
