Cath, she stands
With a well intentioned man
But she can't relax with his hands on the small of her back
As the flash bulbs burst
She holds a smile like someone will hold a crying child

Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Cause your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do

Cath, 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 repressed

But you said your vows
And you closed the door
On so many men
Who would have loved you more

Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Cause your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do

The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
But if their hearts were dying that fast
They'd have done the same as you
And I'd have done the same as you
