Lyrics to a Dark Song

I met her in the summer of '99
She was so perfect, and she didn't need a dime
We took our very long sweet sweet time
I had to wait until we were in our prime

One day I decided to go on one knee
And profess my love for her for eternity
We were meant to be together you see
We'll marry in the church by the special tree

Our wedding day soon arrived
I really felt so fully revived
I know this is the day where I'll thrive
But then a huge problem soon arrived

I saw some writing on her wrist
It looked like a tattoo that shouldn't exist
It had a name, but then she closed into a fist
I started running down after a twist

I ran out of the church to the special tree
Where we met and set our destiny
Something isn't right, I just need to believe
How could she have cheated on me

Then I thought while sitting on the tree
Wait a second, what did I see
Then I realized, of guilt she was free
The name on her wrist was that of me

I ran back inside of the church
My beloved was in her parents perch
I felt my stomach start to lurch
Then for the truth I needed to search

She told me to go away
We had been star crossed lovers yesterday
How could this have happened on our wedding day
I felt my insides start to fray

I don't know if I should go back or die
I don't think it's worth it to try
I started running, then I started to cry
To the avenue with the bridge so high

How could I mess up so bad
I could feel that I wasn't even mad
What I really needed was an emotional pad
But I can't take this, this is the worst I've had

I went to be side and got ready to jump
I feel so ruined, just like a chump
All it would take of my legs was just a pump
Then it would be over with a loud thump

I took one foot off and got ready to go
Ready to smash in one final blow
I took the other leg forward and I felt the air flow
My old bride came running and she screamed no

It was to late, I was already in fall
Time seemed to slow down to a crawl
I started to think if this was worth it at all
I looked up, and she jumped, and together we fall

I am ready for the crash that will end my life
When I first saw the tattoo, I felt a jackknife
But when I realized it was of me, I felt more strife
Together we fell, ready to end our life
