Giveon - Unholy Matrimony Lyrics






White gown hanging in the closet
Black tuxedo that I never got to wear
No invitation sent out anywhere
We don't have any guests to fill the chairs

I believe we could've been together in a past life
But right now we're committed to the fast life
All we waiting for behind these chapel doors
Is a crashing course to a bad divorce

Walking down the aisle to the organ
Playing Here Comes The Bride as a warning
The reality set in
We don't wanna do this anymore
Can't go through with this no more

Cold feet, someone speak up
Or forever hold your peace
Stand up, say it loud
Hear the whispers in the crowd
Somebody stop us now
Before we say our vows

Rice thrown in the air
Family cheer and praise
Drop top drives away
"Just married" on our plates

Before we get too far and this ends the hard way
Just keep your white gown in the closet
And this black tuxedo that I never get to wear
No flower girl to walk with the ring bearer
No grooms and no raising glass in air

Well now I know we'll never know what happens
When the love just ain't the same no more
There's only divorce, we're waiting for our time
When emotions run their course

White gowns in the closet
And these rings that we'll never get to wear
Bridesmaids won't catch bouquets in the air
Train of garment won't be dragging down the stairs

All our stories ended way too soon
You're suppose to love me to the tomb
Hardly stood a chance to tell the truth
Speak baby, tell me that you knew
We came all this way to lose

But, what I did learn, is
Love will give you what you need
But also, take what you don't appreciate
This is crazy
This is crazy
Anyway, humm
Alright, I'ma get off the phone 'cause
I got some cryin' to do
It's happy tears though
Love you

  9. K.... M....

    This mix of Chris Brown fans, Giveon Fans, and Brent fans is beautifully chaotic.

  10. R.... B....

    We’re all gathered here.

    My favorite song from the album 🎶

  17. M.... P....

    "Walking down the aisle to the organ playing 'here comes the bride' as a warning. The reality sets, we don't wanna do this anymore, can't go through with this nomore. Cold feet. Someone speak up or forever hold your peace."
    That part hit me the most. This whole song is poetry.

  18. �.... ....

    i’ve been trying my best to let go of someone who did have feelings for me, but was toxic and never decided to jump off that cliff for me..to be committed. while it hurt, i think Giveon said it best. “i believe we could’ve been together in a past life.” I’ve been coping and doing better without that person. do I miss her? ofc but letting go feels like right thing to do. thanks Giveon for dropping such a banger of a song. 🙏🏽

  19. J.... M....

    I don’t think I should be listening to this at work . I’m feeling emotions I didn’t think I’d be feeling 😫

  20. I.... P....

    i am obsessed with this song omfgggggg 🥹giveon so good at story telling through his music i can see the whole music video in my head already

  21. M.... ....

    Sing your heart Out giveon! Hands-down to you my brother for keeping the name of men still alive! You are what you call the definition of a real one keep it up that way my guy!

  22. j.... n....

  23. I.... ....

    [Chorus 1]
    White gown hanging in the closet
    Black tuxedo that I never got to wear
    No invitation sent out anywhere
    We don't have any guest to fill the chairs
    I believe we could've been together in a past life
    But right now we're committed to the fast life
    All we're waiting for behind these chapel doors
    Is a crashing course to a bad divorce
    [Verse 1]
    Walking down the aisle to the organ
    Playing "Here Comes The Bridе" as a warning
    The reality set in
    Wе don't wanna do this anymore
    Can't go through with this no more
    Cold feet, someone, speak up
    Or forever, hold your peace
    Stand up, say it loud
    Hear the whispers in the crowd
    Somebody stop us now
    Before we say our vows
    Rice thrown in the air
    Family cheer and praise (Praise)
    Droptop drives away
    "Just married" on the plates
    Before we get too far
    And this ends the hard way (Way)
    [Chorus 2]
    Just keep your white gown in the closet
    And this black tuxedo that I never get to wear
    No flower girl to walk with the ring bearer
    No grooms and no raising glass in air
    [Verse 2]
    Well, now I know, we'll never know what happens
    When our love just ain't the same no more
    There's only divorce, we're waiting for our time
    When emotions run their course
    [Chorus 3]
    White gown in the closet (Closet)
    And these rings that we'll never get to wear
    Bridesmaids won't catch bouquets in the air
    Train of garment won't be dragging down the stairs
    [Outro]
    Our love story's ended way too soon
    You're supposed to love me to the tomb
    Hardly stood a chance to tell the truth
    Speak, baby, tell me that you knew
    We came all this way to lose
    [Interlude: GIVĒON's mother]
    But, what I did learn, is
    Love will give you what you need
    But also, take what you don't appreciate
    This is crazy
    This is crazy
    Anyway, umm
    Alright, I'ma get off the phone 'cause
    I got some crying to do
    It's happy tears, though
    Love you
