Wear It Like a Crown

Versuri

[Verse 1] You left your ring beside the stairs And took the warmth out of the room I hear your name in every prayer That I was never meant to choose [Pre-Chorus] The chapel door swings in the wind I know the shape your absence makes [Chorus] Come close, come close, though the night says run I keep your place where the candles drown Your kiss was a curse I called salvation Now I wear it like a crown [Verse 2] Black roses bend against the glass The rain keeps count against the stone I thought the worst of us had passed Then heard your key turn in the lock [Pre-Chorus] The chapel door swings in the wind I know the shape your absence makes [Chorus] Come close, come close, though the night says run I keep your place where the candles drown Your kiss was a curse I called salvation Now I wear it like a crown [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] If you return, don't say you're sorry Don't ask the old wounds to forgive Just lay your hand against my heartbeat And tell me what is left to give [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Come close, come close, though the night says run I keep your place where the candles drown Your kiss was a curse I called salvation Still I wear it like a crown [Outro] The chapel door swings in the wind I leave the candle burning
