Holy Like Hunger

Verse 1 (low, intimate)

You found me in the quiet dark

Where I keep my softer parts

Said my name like it was prayer

Like I’d always been right there

Hands like sin, but voice like grace

Left your shadow on my face

You held me like a sacred thing

Then vanished just as quick

⸻

Pre-Chorus (rising tension)

Oh, I should’ve known better

Than to worship what won’t stay

⸻

Chorus (rich, emotional)

You were holy like hunger

Something I could never keep

I was down on my knees in wonder

While you slipped right out of reach

I gave you every piece of heaven

Every truth I tried to hide

But you only loved the confession

Not the sinner inside

⸻

Verse 2 (earthy, vivid imagery)

Your love was a storm at sea

Pulling wreckage out of me

Turned my bones into a song

Then left before too long

I tasted something close to God

In the way you held me hard

But your faith was never mine

You were only passing time

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Oh, I called you my salvation

But you never said my name

⸻

Chorus

You were holy like hunger

Something I could never keep

I was down on my knees in wonder

While you slipped right out of reach

I gave you every piece of heaven

Every truth I tried to hide

But you only loved the confession

Not the sinner inside

⸻

Bridge (dark, powerful)

If loving you’s a sin, I’ll take it

Let it carve me to the bone

I would bleed just to feel it

Even if I’m left alone

⸻

Final Chorus (full intensity)

You were holy like hunger

And I starved at your door

I would’ve given you forever

But you never wanted more

I laid my soul out like an altar

Let you take what you desired

But you left me with the ashes

Of a love you never required
