Happily Never After
The blushing bride
Has a quiet beauty about her
And such sad eyes
Walking down the aisle
She looks so happy, so confident
Even though to her, every step feels like a mile
Hand in hand with her groom
They smile at each other, but they are fake smiles
They are married at high noon
They go home, the ride is so quiet
They both think they could finally be happy
Although they both don’t buy it
Sitting together quietly, the silence pushes itself upon them
They are starting together anew
Finally, they have been together since back then
Horrible images both flash across their mind
They both look at each other and wince
Their emotions, both mimed
They both embrace each other,
Embrace with such kindness
He whispers and tells her that he loves her
This is there happily never after
