Another year, Hallelujah

They tell you when you hit sixteen,
that everything that has and been,
is another memory lost to another lifetime.
You wish you wonder how you pray,
that life is better now this way,
niaveity was better when you were younger.

You waited, patient, that's not you,
for everything you wanted to do,
you thought she'd keep her word, how foolish of you.
Time went around, another year,
but time brings round another tear,
your left and how you're broken, she lied to you.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Light a candle, watch the flame,
she says it's only you to blame,
you had your chance, but it was blown out for you.
Kiss goodbye, and close the door,
another year, like the one before,
you're older now, but she's ruining it all for you.

Never a chance, and never a game,
she made it clear, she made it plain.
He'll never stay past midnight just to hold you.
You're trapped, you'll never run away,
you've tried before, but not today,
there's nowhere left to run but home, and she's there.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
