Wedding Dress

Strapless and lace

That's what I thought it'd be

It wasn't just a dream

I really thought that was me

With the done up hair

With a bouquet of roses

I thought that was me.

 

White picket fences

Children in the yard

Cooking breakfast and dinner

For all of us, three

With that picture perfect life

I thought that was me.

 

But, forget about that

I remind you of the wedding dress

That I won't be able to wear

Because it has your name on it

The wedding dress

The engagement that could never be salvaged

Not that I want it...anymore

It's just a pity

That poor wedding dress

Will never be worn

Because it's meant for me

But, still has your name on it.
