I’m walking down the aisle to you but you already have a ring on your finger
Standing there willing to break a promise that was made to be kept
Now you keep nothing but us a secret
I’m walking down to the music of of cruel lies
A sound so horrifying and deadly, sadly familiar
While being the only thing keeping us alive though I feel like dying in his arms
All the benches are empty, just us within these walls in the cathedral of foolish behaviour
No one knows of this bond that was meant to be a short fun time
But became an affair with meaning as I fell into deeper feeling
A white gown is not what I wear since I don’t know what it means
To be pure and do what’s right, cause if I did I’d be walking to someone else
A veil covers up my face to hide the tears that I cry
About loving someone that is loved by someone else and wears that existence of her openly out
Without ever feeling it in his heart, that’s where I am, am I?
The one before me on this aisle is in my mind and in the cracks of my heart
See the scene, watch it closely, the more you see the less you know
The longer you stay the more you’ll feel
I’m his bride in this charade, when all I want is to be real to him
He’s the one that I want, not in a game but in reality
While he keeps me locked up within the walls of his rules ensuring I won’t ever be more than just his favourite toy
That he gets out whenever he’s bored of playing a grown up man with responsibilities
He reaches into the box of people he plays with, sees his bride and marries her
Forever bound to mean something to each other just not enough to be with each other
