I just wanted my shirt
folded next to your pants
Though my colors are always angry
so they go into rants
about how your apples hog the fridge
and your pictures crowd the wall
It's not like my boots
get closet space at all
The counter is covered
in masks that you wear
different shades different moods
not that I care
You change your feelings
like coloring your hair
you've become someone else
I don't know if you're there
[pre-chorus]
Can't remove these stains
from our wedding cake
where the bride and groom
have themselves to break
[chorus]
We are gathered here today
to witness some misery
two people who settled
for the runner-up victory
Not the gold nor the silver
but at least they're on the stand
riding off into the sunset
holding regretful hands
When I just wanted my socks
to share a drawer with yours too
How my whites are always angry
remembering life without you
That life so happy
not smothered in blues
My old heart feels borrowed
and it's time to renew
I just wanted my tie
to hang next to your dress
Now the man in these clothes
is a slobbering mess
Unable to fathom
the way that he's blessed
or admit his mistakes
are why he's distressed
[pre-chorus]
Can't remove these stains
from our wedding cake
where the bride and groom
have themselves to break
[chorus]
We are gathered here today
to witness some misery
two people who settled
for the runner-up victory
Not the gold nor the silver
but at least they're on the stand
riding off into the sunset
holding regretful hands
It's hard to give up what you own
I promise it's better
than the pain we have known
or the lack of compassion I've shown
So like a classic bait and switch
I'm a salesman with a pitch
to sell you back your life
Nothings cheaper than a bitch
So I'll close down the store
and clean off the shelves
I can't take anymore
I need to retire myself
take me out to the curb
and leave me behind
The greatest gift to be kind
is for me to become
out of sight and out of mind
[pre-chorus]
Can't remove these stains
from our wedding cake
where the bride and groom
have themselves to break
[chorus]
We are gathered here today
to witness some misery
two people who settled
for the runner-up victory
Not the gold nor the silver
but at least they're on the stand
riding off into the sunset
holding regretful hands
Can't remove these stains
from our wedding cake
where the bride and groom
have themselves to break
