lyrics

(hun li ge)

Wo xie de shi yi ge ren zou jin hai li
I wrote about a woman walking into water on purpose
Ta men ting dao de shi yi ge ren zou xiang ai qing
They heard a woman walking towards love, in white, with flowers

And I have watched four hundred couples
Choose the saddest thing I ever made
For the happiest four minutes of their lives

The wedding song, wedding song, the wedding song
A misunderstanding can be more useful than the truth
The wedding song, wedding song, the wedding song
And I have never once taken it back

Yin yue li mian mei you jie shi de di fang
Music has no room in it for footnotes or corrections
Yi shou ge li kai ni de shou, jiu bu shi ni de le
A song leaves your hands and stops being yours immediately

Wo mei you gao su ren jia. Wo yong yuan bu hui.
I have never told anybody and I never will.
Their four minutes weigh more than my ten years. That is simple arithmetic.

The wedding song, wedding song, the wedding song
A misunderstanding can be more useful than the truth
The wedding song, wedding song, the wedding song
And I have never once taken it back

(hun li ge...)
