lyrics

The picture of the groomsman and you.
You look so beautiful.
Where did that look go?
Was I something you outgrew?

Nobody looks better in black.
You own and exude the elegance it deserves.

Your hand around my back.
The smiles on our faces seemed so true.
The corsage and the jewels.
I thought we were next and I thought you did to

Nobody calms me down.
Nobody fills me full.
No one could’ve taken that away but you.

The picture of the groomsman and you.
You look so beautiful.
Should I have asked for your hand?
Would you have seen me through?

You own black.
