Blue Dress Confessions
(mm-mm) (yeah) Spun around in satin fabric dyed royal blue
Thought tonight might feel a little like a dream come true
Couples swaying two by two across the hardwood floor
I was dancing by myself beside the double
door
The record scratched to quiet,
everyone turned around
He dropped down on one knee
right on the ground
Asked for her forever,
and she smiled and nodded yes
I looked down at the folds of my blue dress
Grabbed my coat and slipped into the evening rain
Running from the ballroom trying to hide the pain
Glass slippers shatter when the clock strikes deep
Left the whole party just to cry myself to sleep (oh-oh-oh)
Flew up to my bedroom,
threw my heels across the floor
Buried in the pillows till a light tap hit the door
Turned the brass handle with the tears still on my cheek
Two familiar faces waiting,
letting silence speak
They saw me slip away into the night
Followed every step beneath the amber streetlamp light
Sat down on the carpet,
held my shaking hands
Sometimes honest sorrow
is all a friend demands
Grabbed my coat and slipped into the evening rain
Running from the ballroom trying to hide the pain
Glass slippers shatter when the clock strikes deep
No fairy tale romance that I got to keep (ooh-yeah)
Letting out the truth until the morning came
Sitting on the bedroom rug,
they stayed the same (mm-mm)
