At The Altar Lyrics

At the altar in a church

Where we come to lay our scene

I thought I could end my search

With the hope of seventeen

Sing a word, a single chord

What it takes to make a dream

Maybe you were only bored

But I thought we were a team

Years and years and side by side

Gave me something I could trust

Let it build up into pride

Then you let it turn to rust

I remember what you said

About leaving when it's gone

Even though I know it's dead

Doesn't mean that I've moved on

Take away the bruises and the pains

Still the song remains

Even when I knew you didn't care

I was always there

Sign off with an adios

And then don't return my call

Used to think that we were close

And now we're nothing at all

And I know that it's absurd

To launch into an attack

But I took you at your word

When you said you had my back

And I'm seeing someone new

And I know that in the end

She will leave me just like you

With the lie to just stay friends

But when everyone is far

And they all have gone and grown

I'll be here with my guitar

Still deluded and alone

Take away the traces and the stains

Still the song remains

Even though I know you didn't care

I was always there

You don't know how much it meant to me

You don't know how much it meant to me
