Hallelujah what a savior
Is a line from a hymn I once knew.
She asked if I knew what it felt like
To be broken.
I said, I do.

This was the only wedding ceremony
We ever got through.

She said, Promise me you'll be faithful.
I said, If you only knew.

She said, Let's play doctor all night long
And hung a sign on the door of my heart.
