She's Getting Married

She's Getting Married



With another engagement ring

your bed's no longer cold

and with the ticking of the kitchen clock

your mortality's being told

Hurry if you can

grasp your definition of happiness

though perfection may not be what you hold onto

it's better than loneliness

Be by luck or by design

you've ended up where you begun

ignoring the fact, you're caught in a trap

though you think you're having fun

Can you hear the ticking of the kitchen clock

it's much louder than slamming doors

so you accept the illusion, despite the confusion

you're much happier than before

So you put on your make-up

fix up your hair

and put on your pretty white dress

You're a vision of beauty

a site to behold

though your emotions are all a mess

Can this be what you were destined for

is this the path you want to take

or will you realize ten years down the road

this one day was the first mistake



You still visit me, in the corner of my memories

i smile and i hope you are fine

though i'd sell my soul, to have you to hold

and die if only you were mine
