Halestorm - White Dress Lyrics

She could have used the lyric black wedding dress and it would've been even more epic

awesome

My fucking anthem. Seriously people are always up in my business whenever I say something like "I'm not looking for a relationship right now." "I don't care if I never get married." "I am never having children." Like they either lose their shit or they act like I was asking their opinion. I wasn't, I was making a statement, their opinions on my life are irrelevant because they don't have to live with the choices I make, so it's none of their fucking business.
I'm not looking for a relationship because I have more important things to focus on, like getting my HSE and going to college. I don't care if I don't get married because people don't need romantic relationships to be happy, I will only marry someone that I want to spend the rest of my life loving, but if I don't I'll still be happy. And I don't want kids because I don't have the patience necessary to raise one, and children are not possessions that exist to serve their parents in any manner. Yet no matter how many times I explain this people just refuse to understand.
Like, my mother has enough grandchildren, she doesn't need anymore, and the fact that I apparently have 'an excellent body for childbirth' is not an excuse for me to have kids either. As far as relationships, men are intimidated/threatened by me and I would rather die alone than be in a relationship that doesn't make me happy. I don't want my greatest accomplishment in life to be "I'm so-and-so's wife/mother," that's fine for some women but not for me. I want to go to culinary and business school and open my own restaurant, but my family keeps trying to talk me into following a path similar to some of the other women in my family who married young, had tons of kids, and didn't do what they wanted to do in life because they were too busy being a wife and mother; some of them even stuck in an abusive relationship that they couldn't leave because they had no skills/resources to take care of their kids and they didn't want to leave them. The people who support me most are my brothers and their wives, who are all pretty non traditional in our family's opinion so it makes sense that they'd be the ones who don't have a problem with my plans.
TLDR: this song is my anthem because I want to be a business owner instead of a wife or mother, and my huge old values Mormon family has an issue with that and keeps trying to change my mind or just assumes that I will in the future. But I'm my fathers daughter (emotionally manipulative and abusive asshole he was though) and I am far more stubborn and ambitious than they can imagine.

Lzzy + Ozzy = ???

Definitely my song for life. ❤

HALE yeeaaahhhh!!!!!!

That's what I really like in Halestorm songs - not only good music but great lirycs too!

Awesome

just downloaded it

love this song

Did she blot out the couple's eyes with a digital white and gray tornado? Just another broken home gone with the wind I guess.

I'm not sure if the way I understand the lyrics is one of the intended ones but it goes perfectly

This song should be a single!

This song deserves a music video tbh

[Verse 1]
I used to be tryna be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people say
I never questioned being on picket fences
I'm not afraid about where I fit into the frame
Satisfied to drive in my own lane
So quit denying, yesterday is dying

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never be, I'll never be
All of the things that you need me to be
You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me

[Chorus]
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Someday you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm embracing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud

[Verse 2]
Close your eyes
Why don't you try to keep an open mind?
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth but it's not about you
This is mine so don't treat me like I'm a crime
My life, my lesson learned in time
Don't need against you, you don't have to be you

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me

[Chorus]
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Someday you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm impressing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud

[Bridge]
I'll never be, I'll never be
All of the things that you need me to be

[Chorus]
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Someday you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm impressing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud

I love this song!!

So excited for the rock show tonight in the D

Was today rocking out to this song earlier today. Halestorm fucking rules, and I cannot wait to see them for a third time tomorrow night!!!!

The lesbian anthem ✊

LiveWire what?? Why???

@Omar Yáñez Zavala i meaaan, do you not hear the lyrics? literally every word is something lesbians can relate to
+if i'm not mistaken Lzzy is bisexual with a preference for women, so...

YES, finally someone who says that too, what about the gays? 😂

Yeahhh!!!i see the band in concert in Barcelona in two weeks!!!!halestorm rocks forever!!!!

I'm in love with white dress but also gotta have that black wedding-in this moment. Halestorm never does disappoint 😄😍

perfect song to came out of the closet

Go Halestorm! 🤘

la verdad es una excelente banda que ofrece demasiado es muy buena

La neta que si, y casi todas las canciones de ellos SON GENIALES!!

Mi favorita! <3

Published on my 28th birthday. \m/

Another great song like usual!

I used to pray
Tryna be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people said
I never questioned beyond picket fences

Im not afraid
About where I fit into the frame
Satisfied to drive in my own lane
Sick of denyin’ yesterday is dyin'

I'll never be, I’ll never be
All of the things that you need me to be
You’ll never see, you’ll never see
That version of me

I’m not the girl in the white dress
I’m not your fairytale princess
I’m sorry mama that I made you cry
Someday you’ll know the reason why

I’m not the girl in the white dress
I’m embracing my darkness
I’m really sorry that I let you down
I’m still gonna make you proud

Close your eyes
Why don't you try to keep an open mind
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth, but it's not about you

This is mine
So don't treat me like I'm a crime
My life, my lesson learned in time
I don't hold it against you, you're allowed to be you

You’ll never see, you’ll never see
That version of me

I’m not the girl in the white dress
I’m not your fairytale princess
I’m sorry mama that I made you cry
Someday you’ll know the reason why

I’m not the girl in the white dress
I’m embracing my darkness
I’m really sorry that I let you down
I’m still gonna make you proud

I’ll never be, i’ll never be
All of the things that you need me to be

I’m not the girl in the white dress
I’m not your fairytale princess
I’m sorry mama that I made you cry
Someday you’ll know the reason why

I’m not the girl in the white dress
I’m embracing my darkness
I’m really sorry that I let you down
I’m still gonna make you proud

Todas sus canciones me gustan. son una pesada.

Ahhh I can’t wait to see halestorm again today !!!

That opening drum beat.....fucking awesome \m/

The chorus falls behind compared to the verses. Still, a good song overall.

Sounds a little like Skulls or it's me?

Good Shit.

As usual killing it!!!!

This is perfect as fuck💪💕

my favorite off the album

Nailed it again..........y'all are on the razors edge..........killin it. Yet another album to have in my "life track".

you guys should come to Indonesia. to heal that nation.

Trop génial ce nouvel album...j'ai rangé ma robe blanche car je ne pourrai pas la porter...

We love LIZZY!

This is REAL music!!
Top 5 album 2018👌

Awesome! Looooved the lyrics!
My new favorite song.

Damn...so good! Totally vibe with this song and Lzzy. You guys kick ass.

Totally tremendous, just superb!!!!!

You guys never cease to amaze ❤🎸

Halestorm go back more hard.. I'm feeling a powerful growth in this new era.. congrats lzzy because I'mreally digging it.. can't wait to hear the full album yo immerse myself..

Ahhh I love this song so much!!! The whole album is just perfect!!! Fits like a glove !! 🖤🤘🏽❤️🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽❤️🤘🏽🖤

Please guys, do another one gig in Vienna or somewhere in Czech republic or Slovakia..This tour will be something amazing, I'm sure, but It's already out of tickets and I missed my chance to buy it :-( I'm so sad, cause it's not enough gigs in the middle of Europe :-(

Woooooow!!! This is greaaaaat!!

Halestorm killed it again 💯🔥

There's no Halestorm song i didn't like... How come they are underrated like this!?

Because corporate radio sucks. I wouldn't say "underrated," but definitely underplayed on the radio.

Because radio stations don't play rock. They're not underrated, they're just not mainstream

Because mainstream music tends to consist of rap , lazily produced pop music and autotune nowadays which is quicker, cheaper, easier to produce but takes little to no effort or talent unlike genres such as rock and roll or heavy metal

I agree! However, like a couple other users said in replies, they're just not mainstream. The only genres most radio stations consist of are rap and pop, which take little, or no talent at all whatsoever. However, as a Halestorm fan, they deserve more attention in my opinion.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

ooooooooooo

I’m already obsessed with this album and it just came out...

like a TDG(in my op-n)

Love love love!!!

Halestorm as usual making songs that describe my life <3

They tell me it's in my head whatever

@Amy Waggoner Let's ask Kat

I used to be tryna be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people say
I never questioned being on picket fences
I'm not afraid about where I fit into the frame
Satisfied to drive in my own lane
So quit denying, yesterday is dying

I'll never be, I'll never be
All of the things that you need me to be
You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me

I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm impressing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud

Close your eyes
Why don't you try to keep an open mind?
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth but it's not about you
This is mine so don't treat me like I'm a crime
My life, my lesson learned in time
Don't need against you, you don't have to be you

You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me

I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm impressing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud

I'll never be, I'll never be
All of the things that you need me to be

I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress
I'm impressing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud

Great lyrics, BTW..and a tremendous album...VICIOUS <3!!

"I never questioned beyond picket fences" makes a lot more sense, having a picket fence outside your house is a symbol of idealised married life, no one's sitting on them

I used to pray, tried to be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people say
I never questioned, beyond picket fences (beyond picket fences)
I'm not afraid, about where I fit into the frame
Satisfied I drive in my own lane
Sick of denyin', yesterday is dyin'

I'll never be, I'll never be
All of the things that you need me to be
You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me

I'm not the girl in the white dress (NO!)
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry
Some day you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress (NO!)
I'm embracing my darkness
I'm really sorry that I let you down
I'm still gonna make you proud

Close your eyes
Why don't you try to keep an open mind?
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth, but it's not about you (but it's not about you)
This is mine, so don't treat me like I'm a crime
My life, my lesson learned in time
(I Don't hold it against you, you're allowed to be you.)

You'll never see, you'll never see
That version of me

I'm not the girl in the white dress (NO!)
I'm not your fairytale princess
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry (made you cry)
Some day you'll know the reason why
I'm not the girl in the white dress (white dress)
I'm embracing my darkness (the darkness)
I'm really sorry that I let you down
But I'm still gonna make you proud

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I'll never be, I'll never be
All! of! the! things! that! you! need! me! to! BE!

I'm not the girl in the white dress (NO!)
I'm not your fairytale princess (the princess)
I'm sorry, mama, that I made you cry (made you cry)
Some day you'll know the reason why (reason why?)
I'm not the girl in the white dress (the white dress)
I'm embracing my darkness (the *DARKNESS* !)
I'm really sorry that I let you down
I'm still gonna make you proud

*Thanks to

~amy alex,
For doing most of the work.

After a *ton* of replays, I'm fairly sure she's singing "beyond picket fences,"
not "being on picket fences." It makes sense context-wise, too.

~MIKE RANDOLPH
For: "I think it's "I'm embracing my darkness..."."

I could not hear "embracing" until I saw your comment.





Official lyrics (not available when I started this) may show "ing" in places Lzzy sang "in'" (denyin,' dyin,'
etc.). I typed what I heard, and played this a lot (we need the liner notes!).

You caught that, too, aresvepe? I spent a day (on and off, but it was about 24 hours from start to finish) getting the lyrics down as best I could. Amy Alex did a very good job from scratch. Her lyrics helped me. I caught "beyond picket fences," too, and a couple more. The hardest was that line that MIKE RANDOLPH got.
... So, after listening and singing until I was falling asleep at sunrise, and re-listening today, and re-editing, I finally hit "enter," and *then* realized I hadn't caught "satisfied I drive in my own lane" (I missed "I" instead of "to" about 50 times; the band better not change the lyrics now).

From her official tumblr page:
I used to pray, tried to be perfect in every way
I used to care about what people say
I never questioned beyond picket fences
I'm not afraid about where I fit into the frame
Satisfied to drive in my own lane
Sick of denying, yesterday is dying
....
Close your eyes, why don't you try to keep an open mind?
I hope you know how hard I really tried
It might be a hard truth but it's not about you
This is mine, so don't treat me like I'm a crime
My life my lesson learned in time
I don't hold it against you, you're allowed to be you


Also, she sings I'm embracing my darkness

I tattoo halestorm on my hand !!! 4life

The Noob Gamer love your profile pic

I'm finally gonna be the girl in the white dress tomorrow. 😇

I'm never going to be the girl in a white dress. But congratulations 👌

@국태 Never say never. 😊

@cellogirl11RW

And I hope ur marriage is going good 😁

@국태 Thanks! It is!

Ik I'm late but congrats!!

Nice album

Metal Lyrics yaaaaas

Nice understatement.

what ? lol

I meant it's an AWESOME album, and I can hardly wait for the concert. But "nice album" will do. ;)

Awesome! ❤

I wish each album was like this one

Killer tune!

We definitely need a European tour for this album!

Yes! Fuck yeah

Lily Xrage there is, but they are still not coming to Serbia. I can't wait anymore, I wanna hear them live!!

Saw them in Frankfurt 😍😍 it was fucking awesome

@Lone Wolf Nadajmo se

I saw them live here in the UK a few weeks ago... awesome doesn't even cover it

deyyamn

Perfec Song ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥

this and black wedding, for a wedding playlist

And maybe the rain of castamere?
“Lannister’s send their regards”

I'm in love with this new album. I think it's pretending to be the Halestorm's best one.

I don't think so … surely it's a good Rock Album but not at the level of songs of the past …. like Love Bites , i am the Fire , i love the misery , i get off , Mayhem , Amen , Familiar taste of Poison , Dear Daughter and much more …. maybe they were too great those songs to be replaced at the same level … i don't know it's my first impression listening to new songs… a very good album but nothing special, anyway i love lizzy and i will be to European Tour !!

Lyrics?)

amy alex transcribed them, and I listened and edited for a day and put up the edit (I'll be able to sing this one at the show!). They are not available online, yet. Let me know if I made a mistake I didn't catch. I'll re-paste here:


I used to care, tryna be perfect in every way
