I said I do, and you kissed my veil away
Slipped the ring your mama gave you on my finger, let it stay
You got what you wanted
I got what I deserved, thank god this white dress hides the scars you made

Now we're off, to the place you said they couldn't find us
In the cage of your embrace no one will find me
And you silence my screams with your kisses
Honeymoon, honeymoon
Oh how you make me swoon

The priest still thinks that you're daddy's good boy
He doesn't know that you use me like a toy
Fascinated by my beauty for a while
Then when you're done, throw me around and leave me on the floor
Oh but you say you're mean for a reason
That's the only way you can keep 'em

And you said it's not enough, to be in love
You said it'd be worth it if it's rough
In the cage of your embrace no one will find me
And you silence my screams with your kisses
Honeymoon, honeymoon
Oh how you make me swoon

In sickness and in health, through good days and bad
You'll still be bad, so bad, so bad
Vows to you mean nothing at all
God as my witness you wanted it all
You like to turn my beauty into pain
To turn my soul into a gain
But babe, we're on a honeymoon
The only time you see my novelty
Otherwise you ain't that sweet

Honeymoon, honeymoon
Oh how you make me swoon
Do you know that I'm in love with you
