Broken Wedding Lyrics by The Volunteers
The substance of us
As ourselves
Can’t count it, can’t put a value on it
We cannot describe
If it’s metal, steel or diamond
But it is something special, for sure
We are so different
There were troubles
that followed you around
Back then, I thought they were mine
You sometimes hid away
I know our worlds are breaking down
Now I’m singing blues at some wedding
Total strangers are getting married
I have no idea what I’m singing
Thinking ‘bout us
We are so much like a broken wedding
You run away
I just cry and cry
The surface of us lies under water
Can’t tell, can’t face it if we’re sinking
Can’t define if it’s love or
just the fear of letting it all go
Tell me, is it over in your head?
We are so different
There were labels that followed me around
Back then, you taught me
how to let them slip away
Without you, my world would’ve broken down
Now I’m staring at the bride
Does she know the way she’s smiling?
Can he see how beautiful she is?
Will they last forever?
Wanna know what forever feels like,
With you
Less bitter than we’re now
Even if it falls like a sandcastle
This time, don’t run away
Could we build it again?
Now I’m singing blues at some wedding
Total strangers are getting married
I have no idea what I’m singing
Thinking ‘bout us
We are so much like a broken wedding
Let’s run away
Before we fall apart
What if I run away,
Would it make you cry?
