you said you wouldn't leave me so why do I feel so alone
I know
I know
I know I felt you
(So why can't I fell you now?)
I know
I know
I know you're always here
(So how do I reach you when I'm alone?)
The only altar I've got is my bed
and I'm not sure Chainsmokers counts as worship music
But there's no one left to intercede for me
and once again I am alone
so anoint me with your oil
so light the fire in my heart
so let me see you in the setting sun
so dry my tears and help me stand
so open up the hollow of thy hand
right now I need that protector
right now I need that father
right now I need a hug
I know
I know
I know you love me
(So why do I feel so alone?)
I know
I know
I know you hurt with me
(but I'm hurting in my bones)
The only chapel I've got is my bedroom window
and I'm not sure the setting sun counts as a parson
But there's no more mentors to guide me through this
and once again I am alone
so bless me with your communion
so convict me with your spirit
so calm my anger and quiet my storm
so let me know you're in control
so make a sharp blade from my dull
right now I need a reason to stay alive
right now I need a driving force
right now I need a passion
Light a fire right on the ice
and the altar's doused with my own blood
and nothing is ever easy with me
so show your power like you say you can
make a steady house out of this one
built
in the
sand.
