Cathedral Lyrics by Jade Bird

Something American - EP

2017

[Verse 1]
I woke all in white
Right in the middle of the night
I hoped, but knew that I
Had left you with no reason why
And I know I wasn't kind
And you probably lost your mind
But, oh, I couldn't find
One reason not to run a mile

[Chorus]
I heard it from the aisle of the cathedral
Baby, I was gonna break your heart
Hidden in the vows is something evil
Knew we had to stop before we started
And torture each other and wonder why
We ever promised until we died
And I swore that I'd never leave you behind
But I've seen the light, oh, I've seen the light

[Verse 2]
You made me feel so safe
I recall it like it's yesterday
Arranged like a thought-out maze
I tried, but couldn't find a way out
I was screaming out
That you told me that we were bound
I, I was screaming out, now all I hear is the sound

[Chorus]
I heard it from the aisle of the cathedral (Oh-oh)
Baby, I was gonna break your heart
Hidden in the vows is something evil
Knew we had to stop before we started
And torture each other and wonder why (Oh-oh)
We ever promised until we died
And I swore that I'd never leave you behind
But I've seen the light, oh, I've seen the light

[Bridge]
I woke all in white

[Chorus]
I heard it from the aisle of the cathedral
Baby, I was gonna break your heart (Oh-oh)
Hidden in the vows is something evil
Knew we had to stop before we started (Oh-oh)
And torture each other and wonder why (Oh-oh)
We ever promised until we died (Oh-oh)
And I swore that I'd never leave you behind
But I've seen the light, oh, I've seen the light
Said I've seen the light, oh, I've seen the light
