Battered Bride Lyrics - Singles - The Dresden Dolls

this day was meant to be 

a day that i would treasure 

this day was meant to be 

a way to make us closer 

could it be he doesnt see 

that we dont fit together? 

could it be that this will be 

the way it feels forever? 

this day was planned for years 

i prayed at every altar 

this day confirmed my fears 

there's nothing left to wait for 

battered bride dry your eyes 

things will change i promise 

red on white just you wait 

you might learn to like it 

this day was full of pain 

i tried hard not to feel it 

the magazines explained 

something completely different 

if i could have my way 

id run home to my parents 

im scared but have to stay 

i made a firm commitment 

battered bride dry your eyes 

things will change i promise 

red on white just you wait 

you might learn to like it 

pay your dues 

bruised and numb 

love means compromises 

black and blue 

love can come 

in all shapes and sizes 

battered bride 

dry your eyes 

things will change i promise 

run and hide 

all youd like 

only death will part us.... 

battered bride 

dry your eyes....
