(Verse 1)

There’s a chapel in your chest I used to pray in

Candles burning down to bone

Every whispered hallelujah

Sounded like you saying “don’t go home”

Your hands were shaking like a sinner

At the edge of being known

I tried to be your resurrection

But you loved your ghosts too much to let them go

(Pre-Chorus)

Oh, I was never meant to save you

I was only meant to see

That some hearts kneel before their hurt

Like it’s holy as can be

(Chorus)

So farewell to the broken

To the saints without a throne

To the lovers who keep choking

On the prayers they’ve never sewn

I lay your sorrow at the river

Let the current take its toll

I cannot be your savior

Farewell to your broken soul

(Verse 2)

You kissed me like a last confession

Like the sky was falling through

Said if love was ever heaven

It would burn its way to you

You wore your pain like sacred armor

Polished clean and shining bright

But every time I tried to hold you

You slipped deeper into night

Hook (Pre-Chorus)

Oh, I was never meant to save you

I was only passing through

A witness to your reckoning

Not the cure you never chose

(Chorus)

So farewell to the broken

To the saints without a throne

To the lovers who keep choking

On the prayers they’ve never sewn

I lay your sorrow at the river

Let the current take its toll

I cannot be your savior

Farewell to your broken soul

(Verse 3)

May the silence treat you kinder

Than the war you wage within

May you find a softer altar

Where your healing can begin

I’ll wash my hands in holy water

Not from guilt but letting go

Love is not a crucifix

And I refuse to hang below
