Lyrics

Cath, she stands With a well-intentioned man But she can't relax With his hand on the small of her back And as the flashbulbs burst She holds a smile Like someone would hold A crying child And 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 lived in someone else's dream In a hand-me-down wedding dress With the things that could've been all repressed But you said your vows And you closed the door On so many men Who would have loved you more And 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
