Cath... - by Death Cab for Cutie
Explanation by: jhf55... --


Cath, she stands
Cath is set to marry a good man, but she doesn't love him, and this isn't the life for her.
With a well intentioned man
But she can't relax
With his hand on the small of her back
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile
Like someone would hold a crying child
Soon everybody will ask
What became of you
Cause your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do
Cath, it seems
That you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more
Soon everybody will ask
What became of you
Cause your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it won't last
Roll up and down the pews
And if our hearts were dying that fast
They'd have done the same as you
I'd have done the same as you
