The Dresden Dolls - Battered Bride lyrics

this day was meant to be

a day that i would treasure

this day was meant to be

a way to make us closer

could it be he doesnt see

that we dont fit together?

could it be that this will be

the way it feels forever?

this day was planned for years

i prayed at every altar

this day confirmed my fears

there's nothing left to wait for

battered bride dry your eyes

things will change i promise

red on white just you wait

you might learn to like it

this day was full of pain

i tried hard not to feel it

the magazines explained

something completely different

if i could have my way

id run home to my parents

im scared but have to stay

i made a firm commitment

battered bride dry your eyes

things will change i promise

red on white just you wait

you might learn to like it

pay your dues

bruised and numb

love means compromises

black and blue

love can come

in all shapes and sizes

battered bride

dry your eyes

things will change i promise

run and hide

all youd like

only death will part us....

battered bride

dry your eyes....
