Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you. She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne, she cut your hair, And from your lips she drew the hallelujah... Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before, I know this room, I've walked this floor, I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah... Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah
There was a time, you let me know What's really going on below, But now you never show it to me, do you? But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah... Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. And it's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah... Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah
