"bridesmaid" lyrics

We'd stay awake for hours, picking out the kinds of flowers
I'd have in my bouquet
Said you'd catch it on the day
You're in the family picture, you felt like my older sister
The one I never had
Yeah, we got along like that

You were the first one that I'd choose
You were the last one that I'd wanna lose

I thought you'd be my bridesmaid
It's funny how our lives changed
Tell me, what was it for?
When you said you'd be my best friend
You'd love me till the world ends
And now I finally found the man that I adore
But you won't be my bridesmaid anymore

I miss when we were younger, laughing through the heat of summer
Long talks in your back seat
Sharing secrets I still keep
Been so long that I forgot all the reasons that we fought
I'm stuck with my regrets
Staring at your empty dress

I thought you'd be my bridesmaid
It's funny how our lives changed
Tell me, what was it for?
When you said you'd be my best friend
You'd love me till the world ends
And now I finally found the man that I adore
But you won't be my bridesmaid anymore

Who's gonna fix my hair and wipe the tears away?
Who's gonna hold my hand and tell me it's okay?
Who's gonna stand behind me when I say, "I do?"
Oh, it'll be someone, but not you

And I thought you'd be my bridesmaid
It's funny how our lives changed
Tell me, what was it for?
When you said you'd be my best friend
You'd love me till the world ends
Now I finally found the man that I adore
But you won't be my bridesmaid anymore
