A bride's-eye love letter to the home she grew up in, co-written with her father, Mark Mabry.
It's not that I don't want yours
I like the way it sounds
I'm pretty good with change
That's not the reason that I'm down
The reason's sitting in the kitchen
My house was always loud
The door was always open
People running in and out
It smelled like Anthropologie
Burnt that candle to the ground
When my dad would light a fire
It would smoke up the whole house
And I really love your family
I feel bad I feel this way
But I'll really miss my last name
You always keep the sidewalk rule
You pray for me at night
You've got a playlist titled "Ava"
With every song you know I like
When you were picking out my ring
You went and found my Pinterest board
Made sure I got my nails done
Before you knelt down on the floor
I'm yours and yours forever
Giving all of me away
And I can't wait
But I'll really miss
Watching TV with my brothers on the couch
Back then it felt like we were growing
Out of this whole house
Tomorrow I walk down the aisle
Dad's giving me away
I don't wanna leave
Don't wanna stay
And I'll really miss my last name
