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
