Bride Groom

Intro: This city is haunted by the ghost of failure, I am one and you are one We've spent this whole time on the run from a lie that I told That you closed your eyes and you chose to believe So now you ask me for honesty, Just take a second, breathe I'm not good enough for you, you were never good enough to me No one's ever good enough to be, or have something so naïve When I broke my hand on your car, when you told me you were leavin' And I begged for your forgiveness, my broken fingers bleedin' My heavy heart repeatin', afraid, just stay here with me Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast these stunning ruins For the bride I'll never be, and the groom Now I picture you like snowflakes, like desperate pouring rain Like the beating of the drum in the parade of the insane You are the whisper in my ear, when I wake and no one's here There's just the echo of your name So now you ask me for honesty, I close my eyes, breathe, I'm the one who always is so ready to leave To be a distant memory To be a ship disappearing in the sea And I crashed upon your rocks when I heard your voice singing And I begged for your love with my busted ears ringing My hopeful heart repeating You are more than the promise of the sea Then you took your clothes off instead, and you danced around my room Don't worry, you said,'cause the end is coming soon And we'll meet again someday and we'll toast the cursed ruins For the bride I'll never be, and the groom
