Sage White - Runaway Bride / 1896 lyrics

Runaway Bride [Verse 1: Louise Chantál] Said I would meet you at the alter laced in white Promised to love you through the good and bad I tried, to ignore the dehumanization that I felt Church bells Bridesmaids Groomsmen in line Flower girl White roses And now it's my time to run cause You are not the first one That tried to control me Or acted like you own me [Pre-Chorus: Louise Chantál] Many men will call me the love of their lives And dream of watching me walk down the isle And yes I may love you, but today our love will die [Chorus: Louise Chantál] Cause I'm the runaway bride (bride) Today our love will die Cause I'm the runaway bride (bride) Today our love will die Cause I'm the runaway bride (bride) No no no no You don't love me This I know, Boy [Verse 2: Louise Chantál] It tends to go from steaming hot to icy cold As I feel my feet racing out the door I know, you will not be the last one To lose a hidden treasure My love was never yours to measure [Pre-Chorus: Louise Chantál] Many men will call me the love of their lives And dream of watching me walk down the isle And yes I may love you, but today our love will die [Chorus: Louise Chantál] Cause I'm the runaway bride (bride) Today our love will die Cause I'm the runaway bride (bride) Today our love will die Cause I'm the runaway bride (bride) No no no no You don't love me This I know, Boy [Bridge: Man] The only crime you can commit is to escape 1896 [Verse 3: Louise Chantál] In 1896 You locked me up Gave them the key Called me bipolar But the only polarity I see Is your love for me It was like a drug for me But you were not the one for me I mean Don't I deserve love and j**elry? Yet straight jackets were the only gifts I had… I k**ed you a thousand times in my head I wished you were dead [Chorus 2: Louise Chantál] But as I crazy am I will never forget the day you left me In this asylum In this asylum 21 years have past But I will never forget the day you left me In this asylum
