Dressed in Black - Second To Last

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
