[Verse 1]
[male vocals]
I heard you say there was a song
A quiet hymn
A love gone wrong
But every time we touch
It cuts right through ya
You never cared for proof or plans
You only wanted steady hands
A fragile heart still trying to sing hallelujah

[Chorus]
[male + female vocals]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu-u-u-jah

[Verse 2]
[female vocals]
You used to dance in every room
Then filled our bed with doubt and doom
You blamed the dark for what was burning through ya
You said my name like it was sin
Then begged to be let back again
Your trembling mouth still whispering hallelujah

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[call-and-response]
[male] Were we holy?
[female] Or just lonely?
[male] Was it faith
Or just the fear
[female] Of losing you here?
[male] We were broken
[female] Still we sang it
[both] A cracked and crooked
Human hallelujah

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
[duet
Soft]
[male] So take the truth
The hurt
The blame
[female] I’ll take my share of quiet shame
[both] We tried and tried
And love still ran right through us
[male] But in the ruins of our fight
[female] There’s something honest in this night
[both] Two tired hearts still learning hallelujah

[Chorus]
