Selfish Wedding - Receiving Line Lyrics




All you see in your movies, read in your books
Spend all your months in prep to lose it in one look

These oak tree pillars reverberate each note
As the bride walks down the aisle, as the groom starts to choke

And I read all the literature, but never would have known
Left here standing on the marble stairs, a statue frozen still

Am I a victim of my lineage, set to repeat the past
How many years of claiming to fake it, until it's true at last
Will my mind finally deteriorate, along with my black heart
Will I truly be enough for her, or will I tear it all apart

But the priest looked in my eyes and said, it's OK to be afraid
And it's OK to fear the future, That's your fortune to be made
But will you love this woman endlessly, are you worthy of your name
And when the good lord takes you both away, will you have anyone to blame

So let the receiving line take you both away
