it’s not the dress you wanted when you dreamed
it’s not new and it has torn seams
but you where it like cinderella’s gown
i swear your feet don’t even touch the ground

look at that face, i can’t look away
your blue eyes are anchored in comfort grey
the questions are gone from your smile
the answer’s at the end of the aisle

i know how long you’ve waited for today
women wish for the games that girls play
i know you too well to doubt what i see
he makes you happy

he’s not the prince charming your mom foretold
but love at first sight is the first to go cold
i close my eyes, though it’s ok to stare
did you choose him just because he was there?

i didn’t chase my dream, chase you away
i let you go thinking you’d come back to stay
every risk needs someone to lose
and baby, hope was so easy to choose

so i’m here to see with my own eyes
i hope something inside me dies
something that avoids despair
i still love you, but he was there

i love you but,

he makes you happy.
