Back-Room Bride

Back-Room Bride Lyrics

Break apart your world, it's not like it was intact anyway
Scalpel wielding hands, trembling from massive disarray
Look inside your thoughts, is this who you'd thought you'd be
All the way in the end, in the end
This buckle in my head, it blocks out all reason
And I'm moaning "I'm dead" but I do not mean it
You are my back-room bride and I will love you forever
But no one will ever know your broken wings won't fly away
You are my back-room bride and I will love you forever
But no one will ever know
Your eyes are open, but you won't see
Your mouth is moving, but you won't speak
A word about what happens behind closed doors
Battered and beaten but you're coming back for more
A broken record of a woman screaming over and over
A voice hid in your face is me, I'll kill her cause I love her
You are my back-room bride and I will love you forever
But no one will ever know your broken wings won't fly away
You are my back-room bride and I will love you forever
But no one will ever know
Where are you going? Come back
The holes that line the walls are all that we made
I sit alone in the dark and realize I'm to blame
