pie for billy - real song very poignant lyrics

the save+the+dates are piling up like headstones in my mail
another glittery font telling me that i have failed
at keeping up with all the joneses, now they’re changing names
while i’m still trying to remember last night’s dating app claims
the bar’s my second apartment, my tux is on the bed
’cause every sat+rday’s a funeral for the life i thought i’d have instead

it’s a bouquet of broken promises caught in the breeze
it’s a toast to thе “forevers” that barely makе it to the leaves
it’s a slow dance in the ruins of the family trees
being the ghost in every wedding photo is my expertise

then came the great unraveling, the cryptic instagram posts
the “taking time for me” then they last another year at most
the group chat starts to splinter with the news n0body shares
while someone’s moving boxes out and down a stranger’s stairs
and all those perfect pictures in their gilded, wooden frames
are just the pre+show for the lawyers while they’re splitting up the names

it’s a bouquet of broken promises caught in the breeze
it’s a toast to the “forevers” that barely make it to the leaves
it’s a slow dance in the ruins of the family trees
being the ghost in every wedding photo is my expertise

i’m the professional groomsman, a permanent plus+one in a world of growing minus signs… they hand me the mic to tell stories about forever… and all i can think about is how we’re all just collecting souvenirs from a shipwreck we saw coming from the shore… i hold the rings while i hold my breath, waiting for the collapse. because i’ve seen the encore and it’s just…
silence…
it’s a bouquet of broken promises caught in the breeze…
it’s a toast to the “forevers” that barely make it to the leaves…

it’s a bouquet of broken promises caught in the breeze!
it’s a toast to the “forevers” that barely make it to the leaves!
it’s a slow dance in the ruins of the family trees!
being the ghost in every wedding photo is my expertise
