At The Altar

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
