Red Dress

I'll wear the red dress tonight

You will reel your heart in tight

You can have the upper hand and I'll pretend to understand

Why, it came to this

How it came from there to here

How we muddied what seemed clear

Were we just doomed from the start

Undermined by simple hearts

Why'd it come to this

Come down in silence, come down in fear

Come down in pieces

Come down in tears

Well there're days when the light hits true

Days of him days of you

Nights of sweating, toss and turn

Nights I feel your cigarette burn

Why'd it come to this

As we take our places in this charade

If the sun's too hot, well then sit in the shade

Jury's still out so we make lemonade and say

Why'd it come to this

Come down in silence, come down in fear

Come down in pieces

Come down in tears

Well we all get what we deserve

I get him and you get her

Given the chance I still defer

And maybe we will always wonder

Why, it came to this

So I'll wear the red dress tonight

You will reel your heart in tight

I will have the upper hand and

You will finally understand

Why, it came to this

Why, it came to this

Why, it came to this
