Eight Dollar Prom Dress Lyrics

She said, "Your eyes are everything." But I'm the best liar you've ever seen. We are the anti-passion. You're thirty miles away. We are the anti-passion. Just meet me half way. And when these bridges burn, I'll bleed this river dry and walk to you. My throat will swell before I find therapy. I point this gun at the only place where you still exist. Here's the end to every love feelings to paper and forgotten forever. I waste another song on heartbreak, but it sells and makes lonely kids cry. So here's the perfect song to your perfect life; to live in a prom dress forever with a permanent smile. Lift the glass, slit the wrist, kill the moment, fuck the love.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe nobody's commented on this amazing song! This one seems pretty straightforward. A fucked up relationship is over, and the dude is still fucked up over it. Probably better to be out of it, but like a typical human imbecile, he can't just let go and move on, he's got to dwell. Hell, he probably doesn't want to go back to her, he's just miserable over the whole damn thing!

Also, I think maybe the chick could never compromise, never admit she was wrong, never compliment him, always tearing him down, and now he's having trouble not believing all the bad shit she said about him. That's my take b/c I went through it.
