Hello there, can you see me?
In this gown of ivory,
I'm walking down the aisle tonight.
In this moment, so surreal,
I feel the way true love should feel,
But there's something that just ain't right.

I'm in this dress, it's so pristine,
But it's hiding what's within, it seems.
A secret's burning deep inside,
Can I keep it all disguised?

My burning dress, conceals the fire,
The passion that I can't inspire,
I smile, pretend, I play the part,
But the flames are tearing me apart.

He takes my hand, I feel his touch,
But my heart longs for another's clutch,
I'm standing here, living a lie.
To be with him, I can't confide,
I wear this dress, a cage I hide,
A blaze that's hidden in my eyes.

I'm in this dress, it's so pristine,
But it's hiding what's within, it seems.
A secret's burning deep inside,
Can I keep it all disguised?

My burning dress, conceals the fire,
The passion that I can't inspire,
I smile, pretend, I play the part,
But the flames are tearing me apart.

I wish I could break free,
But I fear the judgment that would be,
To follow my heart, to walk away,
From this life I lead today.

My burning dress, conceals the fire,
The passion that I can't inspire,
I smile, pretend, I play the part,
But the flames are tearing me apart.

In this dress, I'll say my vows,
But I can't help but wonder now,
What life would be if I were true,
If I could burn with him, not you.
