Cath, she stands with a well-intentioned man
But she can't relax with his hands on the small of her back
And as the flash bulbs burst
She holds a smile like someone would hold a crying childAnd soon everybody will ask what became of you
And your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to doCath, it seems that you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
Where the things that could have been are oppressed
You said your vows, and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you moreAnd soon everybody will ask what became of you
And your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do
