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
