Prom Dress

If you were a prom dress
I would try you on over and over
And I'd try other dresses on
They never fit, so I beg the clerk to let me have it
But I can't afford it
I can't afford this

All that I saw was red
All that I tasted was salt
And my face went numb
And my heart sank 6 feet under
Put on more mascara just to watch it run
Did you have fun?
I wish I'd never fallen in love

If you were a prom dress
I'd wear you on New Year's, no chance I'd rest
And I'd save every midnight
For a chance to freeze time standing in the pale moonlight

If you were a prom dress
I'd turn into Carrie White
Ruin everybody's night
Covered in blood triggering my fight or flight

All that I saw was red
All that I tasted was salt
And my face went numb
And my heart sank 6 feet under
Put on more mascara just to watch you run
Did you have fun?
I was only falling in love

I like to pretend that you're a prom dress
Overpriced and satin and green
I hate this part of falling in love
The crush of the heart
Are you falling apart?
It's funny because these days, I never rest
I stay in my prom dress
But the sun still shines
People still lose their minds
The rain still pours
And the lion still roars and
The world keeps turning
But I sit here hurting because of you

All that I saw was red
All that I tasted was salt
And my face went numb
And my heart sank 6 feet under
Put on more mascara just to wish you hadn't run
I'm crushed, I fell in love
I wish you got crushed too
