White Dress

(album: Bruises - 2017)

Nothing lasts forever, I know
But I was praying you'd let that go
Wait until I'm older, so close
I sewed your heart into my winter coat

Don't close your eyes
They're full of life
When you lie, oh

I put my white dress on
I was holding your hand
You said, "I will come back. I hope you'll understand."

I was far too young
I had totally gone mad
You said, "You got it bad"
Will you remember what we used to have?

Time is frozen and I can't wait
I sleep for hours, deep in a haze

Don't close your eyes
They're full of life
When you lie, oh

I put my white dress on
I was holding your hand
You said, "I will come back. I hope you'll understand."

With my white dress on
I was too scared to move
You were covering your eyes
You were leaving me behind

With my white dress on, I thought I was running to an angel anchored in the cold November wind

With my white dress on
But I won't be again
I won't be again
I won't be again
