Lyrics:
Baby, I’ve been here before.
I know this room,
I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
But love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below,
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you,
And the holy dove was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now maybe there's a God above,
But all I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
And it's not a complaint you hear tonight,
And it's not some pilgrim
Who's seen the light,
It’s a cold and it's a lonely Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much.
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch.
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.
And even tough
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
