Lyrics Dressed in Black - Second To Last

Dressed in Black

There’s a chalkboard in the kitchen that reads «Merry Christmas»
And has for months
Did you leave it there to signify
The day that you quit us?
Am I just a lost kid
With a broken concept of love?
Raised by two examples
That both gave up
All I want is to be loved
And to give love back
You should’ve showed up to the wedding dressed in black
Maybe things would’ve made more sense
If they were never permanent
And all I’ll ever take from this
Is that the four of us can’t coexist
Family concept broken down
Word made its way around town
Word made its way around town
And if you knew on that day
That there was still an empty space
You should’ve showed up to the wedding dressed in black
So this is how it feels
When a nightmare becomes real
And I can’t take this, I can’t shake this
But I will, I will survive
And if you knew on that day
That there was still an empty space
You should’ve showed up to the wedding
You should’ve showed up to the wedding dressed in black
