Don't pretend you've been worried You've got a heart-shaped face, but a self-shaped heart And I won't pretend that I've been careful 'Cause I know that we've both got doubts
At least, I've got doubts big enough to drown you I've got doubts big enough to swallow you And I am not opposed to that
The chase, the catch, the court, the ceremony It's enough to make anyone's stomach turn How does she know that he's not lying As mom and dad are crying How does he know she'll be a faithful bride Just because she's dressed in white Well, that can't be right
But I see how she looks into his eyes How she stands at his side And how he holds her when they dance for the first time He says, 'You're the only woman I could ever want' She says, 'I'm so happy, I can barely breathe' And they keep dancing They just keep dancing It's simple, and it's true, I hope it's true
Well, I have the world on a string But it's bearing down on me I'm afraid this hand could never bear a ring This hand could never bear a ring I watch the young feast on love Me and my old, old soul Spinning their storylines from my cold, marble pedastal
Maybe, someday, someone will help me realize I've been overthinking it this whole time And it will come easy, so much more effortlessly Than I could even imagine right now Yeah, this is just a phase I hope
