I am taking slow steps on a red carpet wearing a white cloak
About to give my heart away but no one knows its broke
I am about to receive a diamond ring and throw out my name
It's the last thing my family owns this marriages the blame
I am taking the slowest walk of my life
& when he says I love u I do but I can't be his wife
I am not going to lie , my father knows what's to come
Decision already final this broken-recited vow will not roll off my tongue
I can't accept this men & ring of diamond hue
The ring is on his finger but ill break mine before I do
The stage in which I dread on is soon to become a stone
In which the inscriptions will cite " take the ring & mistress home "
This celebration is our end there's no hearts to mend
This marriage didn't last its morning & our honeymoon went on vacation
We wanted a " happily ever after " but it didn't have a destination
We talked we walked we gave up & gave in
We laughed we had fought & forgiven
But none of this makes up for the massive crime u committed
U imprinted on another body kiss another who u hadn't loved
We had tried this marriage but u had gave it up
For that 1 night stand
While I was at work u had a plan
So now I have mine
& u will have two rings to wear
This Chappell will be UR dark night midlife crisis nightmare
I am gonna leave u in loneliest air not care b/c u dared
Me to
This celebration of white gowns white cake white decor & pews
The guest are unaware of what's in store for u
But I know what sad words are about to reveal
This trespassed guilty crime to this marriage is surreal
This is not how I imagined the day of matrimony & new beginnings
This ending is not how I wanted things
My tongue is hanging with broken vows & lonesome nights
I am standing here - timid from time & prancing w/ pride
Scared yet confident that I could not stand to be With An adulterer
I won't give my name to an ex-lover
I'm calling it off , this marriage dismay is through
I not sorry ex-lover for  I do not love you
