White-Heat Hallelujah

[Verse 1]

Hands on the counter

Coffee’s gone cold

I’m still here

Phone on the table

Lit up with things I don’t hear

You said you’re “tired”

Like love’s a shirt you just outgrew

I smiled and nodded

But every vein is screaming you

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve been biting back my thunder

Folding all my fire small

Now my heart is on the altar

And it’s climbing up the walls

[Chorus]

So I throw my white-heat hallelujah at your back (hallelujah)

Burning through the quiet of this breaking heart attack

If you’re gonna walk away

Then don’t you dare look down

I’m bleeding out a hallelujah

On this love-soaked

Shattered ground

White-heat hallelujah

Till I got nothing left but sound

[Verse 2]

You take your suitcase

Like it’s just trash day

Just routine

Leave all our pictures

Crooked and dusty on the screen

You say “it’s better”

Like mercy’s just another chore

I choke on laughter

Who are we even lying for?

[Pre-Chorus]

I have worshipped every fault line

Kissed the cracks in how you love

Now my throat is raw with praying

And it’s you I’m thinking of

[Chorus]

So I throw my white-heat hallelujah at your back (oh, my God)

Burning through the quiet of this breaking heart attack

If you’re gonna walk away

Then don’t you dare look down

I’m bleeding out a hallelujah

On this love-soaked

Shattered ground

If this is grace

Let it hurt

Let it howl

Let it shake these walls

If this is faith

Let it fail

Let it fall

Let it take us all

You want freedom?

Baby

Tear me from your chest

I’ll be singing through the wreckage

I’ll be loving you to death (yeah)

[Chorus]

As I throw my white-heat hallelujah at your back (hallelujah)

Burning through the quiet of this breaking heart attack

If you’re gonna walk away

Then don’t you dare look down

I’m bleeding out a hallelujah

On this love-soaked

Shattered ground

White-heat hallelujah

White-heat hallelujah

Till I got nothing left

Nothing left but sound (oh)
