🎶 “Married But in Love” (Story in Song)
(Verse 1)
She wore the dress, but not the smile,
Walking down that aisle felt like a lie.
Parents proud, church full of cheer,
But her heart was with someone who wasn’t near.
They chose her fate, gave her his name,
Said love will grow, it’s just a game.
But behind closed doors, she cries at night,
Cause the man she wants got darker skin and eyes full of light.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
She whispers his name when no one can hear,
Touches her ring, but wishes he was near.
The man she married, cold and blind,
But the man she loves, stays on her mind.
⸻
(Chorus)
She’s married, but in love with another,
Trapped by the pressure of her mother and father.
White veil, white lies, white girl torn,
But her soul burns for the man they warned.
He’s Black, he’s bold, her secret flame,
But in this house, she can’t say his name.
⸻
(Verse 2)
She sees him sometimes, down the street,
Heart skips a beat but she can’t speak.
They once kissed under July skies,
Now she hides her truth behind silent eyes.
He moved on, but she never did,
Behind the mansion, she’s just a kid.
Dreaming of arms that made her feel free,
But chained by a ring, and a family tree.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
She dances with a man she’ll never love,
Thinking ‘bout the one she’s dreaming of.
She’s got gold, silk, the life they planned,
But she’d trade it all just to hold his hand.
⸻
(Chorus)
She’s married, but in love with another,
Trapped by the pressure of her mother and father.
White veil, white lies, white girl torn,
But her soul burns for the man they warned.
He’s Black, he’s bold, her secret flame,
But in this house, she can’t say his name.
⸻
(Bridge)
And maybe one day she’ll break free,
Run from the past, chase what she needs.
But for now, she’s a shadow in her own life,
Wearing a ring, but never a wife.
⸻
(Outro – Soft, fading)
She’s married… but not in love.
She’s married… but dreaming of…
A love they said she couldn’t touch,
But in her heart, he’s still too much.
