Lyrics

How many wedding dresses

Contemplating the number of wedding dresses

Can you hide inside your body

Reflecting on emotional burdens within oneself

I used to think

Previous belief in the daunting nature of a situation

It was far too daunting

Reconsidering the perceived difficulty

But I'd buy you one hundred more

Expressing willingness to offer endless support

Nobody tells the truth at the store

Observation that truth is elusive in commercial settings

Especially when you're not ready

People often withhold truths when unprepared

Cos' when you left me

Referring to a significant change after a departure

Everything changed

Positive transformation following separation

Changed for the good

Acknowledging personal growth

Damn I'm so good

Confident self-assessment

Maybe you aren't bad

Considering the other person's character

Were ya trying to be sane

Questioning the intent to maintain sanity

Either way

Regardless of intent, expressing relief

I'm glad you didn't stay

Reiteration of relief and gladness for the departure

I'm glad you didn't stay

-

I'm glad you didn't stay

-

I'm glad you didn't stay

-

How many versions of you

Reflecting on different versions of the other person

Did I have to bury

Metaphorically burying past versions of the person

I used to think you were gone already

Initial belief in the person's absence

I bled out one hundred more

Metaphorically experiencing emotional bleeding

Nobody tells you truth anymore

Noticing the scarcity of truth in contemporary times

Especially when you're not ready

Similarity in withholding truth when unprepared

Cos' when you left me

Recurrence of significant change after separation

Everything changed

Reiteration of positive transformation

Changed for good

Reaffirmation of personal growth

Damn I'm so good

Confident self-assessment reemphasized

Maybe you're aren't bad

Reconsidering the other person's nature

Were ya trying to be sane

Questioning the intent behind actions

Either way

Regardless of intent, expressing relief and gladness

I'm glad

Affirming the feeling of gladness

We all take our chances

Reflecting on the uncertainties in life

Take our time

Acknowledging the importance of time

Some of us regret it

Recognition of regret in some life choices

Some of us get it right

Acknowledging successful decisions

Aren't we all just taking chances

Philosophical inquiry about life's risks

Don't we all get second guesses

Acknowledging uncertainties and doubts

I pray to mother for your blessings

Seeking blessings from a maternal figure

I pray you got right

Hopeful expression regarding the other person's life

Hallelujah

Repetition of a religious exclamation

Hallelujah

Cos' when you left me

Reiteration of the transformative impact of separation

Everything changed

-

Changed for the good

-

Damn I'm so good

-

Maybe you're aren't bad

-

Were ya trying to be sane

-

Either way

-

I'm glad you didn't stay

-

I'm glad you didn't stay

-

I'm glad you didn't stay

-

I'm glad you didn't stay

Final expression of relief and gladness
