Hope O'Dell - Altar Lyrics




Tell me you love me
It's okay to lie
I just need to hear it in your voice
One last time

Tell me you miss me
Even if you don't
I just need to be okay
For a while longer

'Cause you were the girl
I thought I'd marry
Maybe even right after university
Drop down on one knee and say
And I know we agreed to wait
Till we're twenty-eight
But I can't wait

So why am I still singing
About marrying you
Sure you'd look good in white
But I won't be at the end of your aisle
In a bespoke suit
Everyone watching, but my eyes
Only for you
You won't pull on my lapels to bring me into the kiss
That means you'll always love me even if we're poor and sick
So why am I still singing

Drive past your house
I just need a peek
Are you laying in your bed with someone
Who's not me

Do your parents love him
The way they did me
'Cause I always felt
Like family

'Cause you were the girl
I thought I'd marry
Maybe even right after graduation
Drop down on one knee and say
I know I can't afford a ring
But I can't wait
What do you say

So why am I still singing
About marrying you
Sure you'd look good in white
But I won't be at the end of your aisle
In a bespoke suit
Everyone watching, but my eyes
Only for you
You won't pull on my lapels to bring me into the kiss
That means you'll always love me even if we're poor and sick
So why am I still singing

And I know if we got back together, you'd only leave me at the altar
Making jokes, about your dad's watch running slow
And I know if we got back together, you'd only leave me at the altar
Hoping you'd show

'Cause you were the girl
I thought I'd marry
Told you in Case Hall
We had plans for next fall
One day I'd take the train out west
Dressed in my Sunday best
Ready, to get my knee dirty

So why am I still singing
About marrying you
Sure you'd look good in white
But I won't be at the end of your aisle
In a bespoke suit
Everyone watching, but my eyes
Only for you
You won't pull on my lapels to bring me into the kiss
That means you'll always love me even if we're poor and sick
So why am I still singing
