Pretty In White

Mr and Mrs, a photo of the happy couple

I think it's funny that the maid of honor took that photo

'Cause it was almost me, it was gonna be

You're dress shopping, and I'm just window watching

From across the street 'cause I'm too scared to go say hi

And I remember when we weren't strangers, just friends

I was gonna be a bridesmaid

Now I'm sitting in the back pew

With all the other people who don't really know you

But there's a difference, because I used to

But then I knew the hard times

Spring showers rainеd knives

That cut all our ties, lost and out of sight

Hard times, spring showеrs rained knives

That cut all our ties, but this is your night

So I'll put it behind

And say I always knew that you would look pretty in white

Now you're with your friends

Who all look like carbon copies

I might be wrong, but I think they reminded you of me

But a replacement isn't the real thing

I was gonna be a bridesmaid

Now I'm barely invited

Had an extra space and I crossed your mind

Was it just catholic guilt?

Or do you miss what we built?

After all the hard times

Spring showers rained knives

That cut all our ties

Wish I could make it right

Tonight you're wearing white

A pretty sight

I'm not just being polite

Pretty on the dancefloor

Dancing to Death of a Bachelor

Pretty at the alter

Wiping tears from the eyes of your father

Pretty at the sunrise

Pretty when the Sun sets in the dark

And I know that it's over

But I'll always remember the way it was

Hard times, spring showers rained knives

And they cut all our ties, but this is your night

Priest rites, tears in your eyes

All my love tonight

Even if I'm out of sight

So I'll put it behind

Because I always knew that you would look pretty in white
