Altar

[Verse 1]
I traced your bruises in the dark
Counted every crooked mark
You said my name like a secret
I said yours like a prayer
Hung my words on the headboard
You left yours in the air

[Chorus]
I worshipped you like you were holy...
I Kissed every scar..
Listened to Every story
You slept through my devotion...
While you loved the whole damn ocean!
You left the wrong woman..
Burning me at your altar;
You lit the match, and walked away..
You married that fucking woman!
Burned me at the altar...
And watched my faith falter...

[Verse 2]
Turned my body into silence
Wouldn’t let a stranger near
While your phone lit up at midnight
With a hundred little sins a year
I stayed clean
You stayed busy
Touching every passing hand
Thought you’d come home when you were finished
You just drew a different plan

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Saw the photo in the window
Cheap white suit
Crooked tie
Her bouquet like an apology
Pinned right over every lie
It wasn’t me in the reflection
It was everything you chose instead
You got a ring and a reception
I got a ghost in our bed
Burning me at your altar;
You lit the match, and walked away..
You married that fucking woman!
Burned me at the altar...
And watched my faith falter...
