Confetti and Roses lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got your wedding invitation in the mail today
On a thick bit of card telling me to save the date
I missed the announcement that you got engaged
'Cause I don't read the papers every day
I guess you're trying on dresses, making seating plans
Choosing all your favorite songs to tell the band
The flowers are expensive but that's a problem for your dad
He doesn't mind, he's just proud to give away your hand

[Chorus]
And when you walk down the aisle
Beforе they all throw confetti and roses
Whеn you see my face, don't read my mind
I wish it was mine, the hand that you're holding
It could have been us

[Verse 2]
The congregation clapped when he pronounced you man and wife
And an aria was sung while the doc*ments were signed
And it kills me to think it's for the rest of your life, the rest of your life
You were a beautiful bride

[Chorus]
And when you walk down the aisle
Before they all throw confetti and roses
When you see my face, don't read my mind
I wish it was mine, the hand that you're holding
It could have been us
Could have been us
[Bridge]
These are the dreams that I must put to bed
These are the words that I never should have said
These are the feelings I will always have to hide
You are a beautiful bride

[Chorus]
And when you walk down the aisle
Before they all throw confetti and roses
When you see my face, don't read my mind
I wish it was mine, the hand that you're holding
It could have been us

[Outro]
Could have been us, ooh-woah
Could have been us
Should have been
