[Verse 1]
The side door clicks shut
And the hall goes thin
Your name on the plaque
And the guilt within
A folded black coat
On the coat rack swing
The room smells like rain
And a broken thing
[Pre-Chorus]
You said stay quiet
So I stayed close
Hands in my pockets
Like I didn't know
[Chorus]
In the private room
In the private room
In the private room
We both said amen
In the private room
In the private room
In the private room
What was sacred went
[Verse 2]
Candles in jars
Half-burned down low
A cracked wooden bench
And a locked back row
You touched my sleeve
Then pulled away
Like sin had a pulse
And it knew my name
[Pre-Chorus]
You said don't look
So I looked away
But the stained glass glow
Gave us both away
[Chorus]
In the private room
In the private room
In the private room
We both said amen
In the private room
In the private room
In the private room
What was sacred went
[Bridge]
Now the bell tower shakes
When the wind gets mean
And I hear that door
In my seven dreams
You keep your silence
I'll keep mine too
But the pews remember
What we walked through
[Final Chorus]
In the private room
In the private room
In the private room
We both said amen
In the private room
In the private room
In the private room
What was sacred went
In the private room
In the private room
In the private room
Nothing stays buried now
