Lyrics
You left before the wedding party arrived. It’s so hard to read your mind. Especially when it’s not made up. You showed up late. Blamed it on the long drive. Kept the feelings deep inside. Showing up at your convenience. Well, the flower on my corsage wilted. The wine is gone ‘cause you spilt it. And I’m feeling emptier than that on the inside. I waited my whole life to be left at the altar. Words misread from the Psalter about how love is supposed to last a long time. You’ve got me feeling like a fool in this tuxedo. Standing in front of our friends and family. That was one unique way to set me off. And I know I never put my best foot forward. But you got cold feet the minute you walked out on me. So why don’t we tell them all the truth? You left me for someone you had been with this whole time. I was just the other guy you met online. And you are so lovely from behind a cell phone screen. So I wrote you these vows of flattery. For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer. I like the pixel version better. From behind a screen you’re so clever. But in the flesh and blood suspicion. You are an apparition. Ghosting me. I could have just left you on read. On read. I never got your text. Well, you blocked me on all of your socials. Acted so brave and noble and came up with a story for the next guy. I waited my whole life to be left at the altar. Words misread from the Psalter about how love is supposed to last a long time. Chorus.
