Corpse Bride lyrics
by Eileen Alister
[Verse 1]
On the calm down
It's a punch in the face
To know that he's gone now
A bitter pill to take
'Cause somehow
I thought I had him for life
Thought we'd grow old together
I thought that I'd be his bride
[Pre-Chorus]
He swore on his core
A promise for life
Now I know that it was just a metaphor
[Chorus]
I'm the goddamn corpse bride
You said 'til death, but you lied
Our bodies are still warm
None of us has died
I'm the goddamn corpse bride
You said 'til death, but you lied
Our names are on the gravestones
But no one sleeps inside
Wе're still alive
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, lie
'Til dеath do us part
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, lie
But I was dead from the start
[Verse 2]
Call the medics (Medics)
I've got wounds the size of you
It's a bandage on a bullet hole
To hope you might hurt too
Was it reckless? (Reckless)
To jump without a safety net
My life in your hands
Just 'cause of words you never meant
[Pre-Chorus]
He swore on his core
A promise for life
Now I know that it was just a metaphor
[Chorus]
I'm the goddamn corpse bride
You said 'til death, but you lied
Our bodies are still warm
None of us has died
I'm the goddamn corpse bride
You said 'til death, but you lied
Our names are on the gravestones
But no one sleeps inside
We're still alive
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, lie
'Til death do us part
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, lie
But I was dead from the start
[Bridge]
Oh, you burned the knot that we tied
Now, I'm your nightmare, dressed in white
Oh, you burned the knot that we tied
You're no groom—
[Chorus]
I'm the goddamn corpse bride
You said 'til death, but you lied
Our bodies are still warm
None of us has died
I'm the goddamn corpse bride
You said 'til death, but you lied
Our names are on the gravestones
But no one sleeps inside
We're still alive
[Outro]
Love me 'til we're corpse
Stupid little lie
Death can't tear us apart anymore
But will mine make you cry?
