Altar

[Intro]

Stars are just wishes come true

Yeah

[Chorus 1]

I used to worship at your altar

Underneath the covers

I used to worship at your altar

I used to think I was your lover

[Post-Chorus]

So what did I do?

Was it my fault?

Could I have changed it?

And why did you go?

It's not like you're blameless

You should be ashamed of how you behaved

Making that thing some kind of game

Holding my hand, telling me meet me in five years

(I use to worship, at your altar)

Five years

[Verse 1]

But you're a different kind of person

Not the person that I once knew

Not the girl I fell in love with

Not the god I made you into

[Bridge]

You do what you want

Sleep with who you want

I can't stop you

Even if I try, the whole time, you will lie

Then you give me one more line about doing lines

You say that you're just living your life

That I should do my time, but I already did my time

[Chorus 2]

I used to worship at your altar

I thought you'd wash away my pain

Thought your name made you a river

After all it's just a name

[Post-Chorus 2}

So what did I do?

Was it my fault?

Could I have changed it?

And why did you go?

It's not like you're blameless

Was it my fault?

Could I have changed it?

[Bridge]

You do what you want

Sleep with who you want

I can't stop you

Even if I try, the whole time, you will lie

Then you give me one more line about doing lines

You're on my mind

[Breakdown]

Oh, yeah, that's right, but I am fine

Yeah, I'm alive, I'm alive

I won't worship at your shrine again

And no I do not want to be your friend

I feel relieved to know that one day all of this will end

Such a weight off of my shoulders

Momma told us, "Remember, you're not infinite

It's better not to speak and maybe you should get to listening

Don't you worry about the money, honey, or the internet

Cause you're alive, cause you're alive

Baby, you're alive."

No need to worship at an altar

No need to worship at an altar
