Burn The Bouquet

[Verse 1] She’s standing there in your arms In white lace I used to dream I’d wear I’m cold like the pew beneath me While you place a ring like you never cared You left me echoing inside No closure, just a hollow goodbye Now all I do is talk to ghosts Of the girl I was when you loved me most [Pre-Chorus] And I bit my tongue so I wouldn’t scream While the preacher read our shattered dream [Chorus] I hope her dress gets stained in red From every word we left for dead We’ll waltz through the ash, just once more in my mind When we are both in hell without her this time [Verse 2] She’s the one who pulled you away But I won’t scream, I won’t stay This chapel is a mausoleum Every step forward takes my breath away I walk the hallway like a crime scene Every picture frame cuts deep You said forever like it was real But now it’s just the vows I keep [Pre-Chorus] I won’t cry here in this rented pew But my hands still shake like they always do [Chorus] I hope her dress gets stained in red From every word we left for dead We’ll waltz through the ash, just once more in my mind When we are both in hell without her this time [Verse 3] I hope she gives what I could never give The peace, the calm, the easy life to live Even though we planned the altar too I guess I always knew you’d leave too soon But baby this is where I let it lie This is my goodbye Not the one I rehearsed But the only one I’ve got tonight [Bridge] And maybe I’ll get my revenge one day Not with fire, but with forgetting your face With laughing too loud at a song you hate With a love that doesn’t hesitate But don’t you dare call this grace This is me walking away And darling, That’s still A fucking blaze [Final Chorus] I hope her dress gets stained in red From every word we left for dead We’ll waltz through the ash, just once more in my mind When we are both in hell without her this time [Outro (Spoken/whispered over fading guitar)] I wore black Not for you But for the girl I had to kill to make it through
