I kept her framed like stained-glass light
Every crack just looked divine
I called it fate, called it right
While she was fading out of mine
Every warning sign went quiet
When I dressed it up as faith
I was praying she’d stay perfect
While she slowly walked away
I was kneeling at an altar
That she never asked me to build
Every truth I should’ve spoken
Was a truth I never willed
I’m tired of seeing her with God’s eyes:
Been denied!
I have- Built a heaven in my head while she slipped to the side
Turning all her wrongs to right
I keep calling it love but it feels like a lie
Guess I’d rather be blind than leave her behind
But love ain’t holy when it won’t look you in the eye
I forgave the cold shoulders
Like they were just winter winds
Told myself her distance meant
She was scared to let me in
Put her on a throne of gold
While I knelt down in the dust
Calling silence “understanding”
Calling absence “just because”
Every doubt I ever buried
Started clawing at my chest
‘Cause the truth don’t stay in coffins
No matter how you dress
I’m tired of seeing her with God’s eyes,
Ive been- Denied!
Built a heaven in my head while she slipped to the side
Turning all her wrongs to right
I keep calling it love but it feels like a lie
Guess I’d rather be blind than leave her behind
But love ain’t holy when it won’t look you in the eye
Maybe I just loved the version
That I painted in my mind
A saint I drew from broken moments
And the hope she’d be that kind
I was worshipping potential
Not the girl she chose to be
Now the halo’s finally cracking
And the truth is looking back at me
I’m done seeing her with God’s eyes, denied
No more heaven in my head while she slips to the side
I won’t turn every wrong to right
Won’t keep calling it love when it’s built on a lie
I was blind just to keep her behind
But love ain’t holy if it won’t meet your eyes
