This song moves me. For me, it epitomizes a woman being used by, a woman who settles for, the wrong man.
“And if their hearts were dying that fast, they’d have done the same as you. And I’d have done the same as you.” She just felt as if she needed someone SO badly. Many can relate.
Cath…
She stands with a well intentioned man,
But she can’t relax with his hands on the small of her back.
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile
Like someone would hold a crying child.
Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do.
Cath…
It seems that you live in someone else’s dream,
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed.
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more.
Soon everybody will ask what became of you.
Your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do.
The whispers that it won’t last roll up and down the pews.
But if their hearts were dying that fast, they’d have done the same as you.
And I’d have done the same as you.
