I hear your laugh across the room
feel your nerves and see you grin
it makes my mouth curve up on its own
like it had done for the past nine years

I wait for your words of adoration
that'll make me go speechless
or your sweet kisses
that'll make my world red

oh here it comes
the music slows down
time stops
the crowd disappears

but for a second i blink
and it all withers
the reality hits
back in waves

all at once i'm far away
you are locking lips
with someone else
i turn around and run away

assumptions  whirl around
blurry scenes in my mind
you whisper lines from a Shakespeare play
then embrace her tight and kiss her nape

the bitter feeling in my throat
a green eyed monster locked away
the place in your heart i abdicate
now my crown rest on someone else

i'll mourn for all that we were
for the vows we might have  whispered
at the end of an aisle that could have been our own

oh my love we have lost it all
our wasted potential now a
phantom , it haunts my soul .
