Wedding Dress
Jason Chen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Intro)
Some say its not over til its over
But I guess its really over now.
Theres something I gotta say before I let you go
Here it goes

(verse 1)
Every time he breaks your heart
You would hit me up and say
That I'm the only man who knows how to treat you right
And so I comfort you but right right right away
You go back to him and make the same damn mistakes
Girl I was always there to care for you when you were down
Don't say that friends are all that we are ever gonna be
Cut out the drama
Come to me, I know you wanna
Girl I know that's what we both dream of

(Prechorus)
Baby, please dont take his hand and leave me here
Cause you should be my lady, come with me and wipe away those tears

(Chorus)
Once the music ends you will take a vow to be with him forever
But you know I'm the man who you want to be with for the rest of your life
Dont put on that wedding dress
Girl dont put on that wedding dress
(Its not me next you)

Wedding Dress
Girl don't put on that wedding dress, oh no

(verse 2)
Memories that we have shared
Songs that I sang before
All the sleepless nights we spent talking on the phone
Melodies inside my head are your your yours alone
And now baby its time for you to come home
Don't you remember how you told me that Im your first love
Well baby you should know that I just want the best for us
Girl this is so wrong
And I've held this in for too long
I pray that you will leave him and come home



(Prechorus)
Baby, please dont take his hand and leave me here
Cause you should be my lady, come with me and wipe away those tears

(Chorus)
Once the music ends you will take a vow to be with him forever
But you know I'm the man who you want to be with for the rest of your life
Dont put on that wedding dress
Girl dont put on that wedding dress
(Its not me next you)

Wedding Dress
Girl don't put on that wedding dress, oh no

(Bridge)
Wish that I could take your hand
Look into your eyes again
Id tell you a thousand times how beautiful you are to me
And all the things that I shouldve done and shouldve said but I never did
please let me tell you now

(Final chorus)
Once the music ends, Ill be saying my goodbye to you forever
And just know even though our love didnt work out, I am still here for you
Now youre in your wedding dress
Girl now youre in your wedding dress




(Shouldve been me, shouldve been me)
Oh youre wearing that wedding dress, oh no

Overall Meaning

Jason Chen's song "Wedding Dress" tells the story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who is about to get married to someone else. He laments about how he has always been there for her, how he knows she wants to be with him, and how he wishes he had done more to express his love before it was too late. The lyrics are a mix of sadness, regret, and a plea for the woman not to go through with the wedding.


The song starts with the man acknowledging that the relationship is truly over, and he has something important to say before the woman goes. He then proceeds to remind her of all the times when she turned to him for comfort and how he was always there for her. He urges her not to settle for just friendship between them and to cut out the drama in her life. He knows that what they both really want is to be together.


In the pre-chorus and chorus, he begs her not to walk down the aisle in her wedding dress and take the hand of the man she is about to marry. He knows that she truly wants to be with him, and he wishes that she would come home to him instead. In the bridge, he expresses his regret for all the things he should have said and done to express his love for her.


Line by Line Meaning

Some say its not over til its over
Some people believe that things can work out until the very end


But I guess its really over now.
But it seems that this is the actual end of our relationship


Theres something I gotta say before I let you go
There is something I need to tell you before I say goodbye


Every time he breaks your heart
Every time your current partner disappoints you


You would hit me up and say
You would reach out to me and tell me


That I'm the only man who knows how to treat you right
That I'm the only one who understands how to make you feel special


And so I comfort you but right right right away
I am there to support you immediately


You go back to him and make the same damn mistakes
You return to him and repeat the same errors


Girl I was always there to care for you when you were down
I was always there to offer you emotional support when you were feeling low


Don't say that friends are all that we are ever gonna be
Don't limit our relationship to just a friendship


Cut out the drama
Avoid unnecessary emotional turmoil


Come to me, I know you wanna
Come to me, you know that you want to be with me


Girl I know that's what we both dream of
I know that we both desire this


Baby, please dont take his hand and leave me here
Please do not choose him over me


Cause you should be my lady, come with me and wipe away those tears
Because you should be with me as my partner, and I will support and console you


Once the music ends you will take a vow to be with him forever
At the end of the wedding ceremony, you will commit to spending your life with him


But you know I'm the man who you want to be with for the rest of your life
But deep down inside you know that I am the one you want to be with for the rest of your life


Dont put on that wedding dress
Do not go through with this wedding


Girl dont put on that wedding dress
Please do not go through with this wedding, my love


Memories that we have shared
The memories that we created together


Songs that I sang before
The songs that I sang to you previously


All the sleepless nights we spent talking on the phone
The countless nights we stayed up talking on the phone


Melodies inside my head are your your yours alone
The melodies in my head are tied to you alone


And now baby its time for you to come home
And now, my dear, is the time for you to return to me


Don't you remember how you told me that Im your first love
Do you not recall telling me that I am your first love


Well baby you should know that I just want the best for us
You should know that I only wish the best for us


Girl this is so wrong
This situation feels so unjust


And I've held this in for too long
I have kept this bottled up for too long


I pray that you will leave him and come home
I hope and pray that you choose to leave your current partner and return to me


Wish that I could take your hand
I wish that I could hold your hand


Look into your eyes again
Gaze into your eyes once more


Id tell you a thousand times how beautiful you are to me
I would tell you how beautiful you are to me repeatedly


And all the things that I shouldve done and shouldve said but I never did
All the things I regret not telling or doing in our past


please let me tell you now
Please allow me to tell you these things now


Once the music ends, Ill be saying my goodbye to you forever
When the music stops, I will have to say farewell to you forever


And just know even though our love didnt work out, I am still here for you
And know that even though our relationship didn't work out, I am still here to support you


Now youre in your wedding dress
You are now wearing your wedding dress


Girl, now youre in your wedding dress
My love, the fact that you are in a wedding dress


Oh youre wearing that wedding dress, oh no
Oh no, the sight of you in that dress breaks my heart

@JonJoony open up garageband, add about 15 to reverb, use the "male basic" vocal preset
