I sat by the altar, singing a song as My friends said I do Cheering in laughed and then the pastor Said, "Let no one come between you" I pretended not to hear that part A little too close to the heart I'm supposed to be happy today, but I'm barely okay When I'm reminded of the truth I know I'm tainted Watch as I desperately cover that part And that's why I'm chasing Trying to sneak into somebody's heart 'Cause I know I'm tainted, and maybe I'll make it If I can conceal every imperfect scar 'Cause who would want a tainted, tainted love From a man who messed up? Once I stood at the altar, I'm sure of it all Just waiting for my bride to be The pastor opened the bible, and we said with a smile Some words that we didn't mean But [?] I can't take it back I have to go on with half of me And I can't pretend that I'll find me again When I'm at the bottom of the sea I know I'm tainted Watch as I desperately cover that part And that's why I'm chasing Trying to sneak into somebody's heart 'Cause I know I'm tainted, and maybe I'll make it If I can conceal every imperfect scar 'Cause who would want a tainted, tainted love From a man who messed up? But I'm hoping someday that somebody with grace Will forgive me for all that I was But until then [?] with the shadow That says I'm unworthy of love And I just want acceptance, I know that I'm better Than all the mistakes [?] But lately, I'm feeling that nobody sees me And it's too late for me to be loved I know I'm tainted Watch as I desperately cover that part And that's why I'm chasing Trying to sneak into somebody's heart 'Cause I know I'm tainted, and maybe I'll make it If I can conceal every imperfect scar 'Cause who would want a tainted, tainted love From a man who messed up?
