Cheaper Kind Lyrics by Leah Lawson

Flood House

2021

[Verse 1]
I was baptized in a lake
Before I had the chance to say
A single dirty word out loud
Growing up, I was taught my name meant "faithful," but I'm not
I looked it up, it hardly means a thing at all
[Chorus]
I have crumbled like a home
Took years to build, but now it's gone
Couldn't live on bread or promises alone
Used to drink the holy wine
Now I'm dependent on the cheaper kind
The cheaper kind
The cheaper kind
[Verse 2]
You wouldn't know it by my face
But I have felt the hands of grace
And I have lovеd just like a child
Ever since I hеard that song
I tried to write it for my own
But every note I sang was wrong
[Chorus]
I have crumbled like a home
Took years to build, but now it's gone
Couldn't live on bread or promises alone
Used to drink the holy wine
Now I'm dependent on the cheaper kind
I have crumbled like a home
Took years to build, but now it's gone
Couldn't live on bread or promises alone
Used to drink the holy wine
Now I'm dependent on the cheaper kind
The cheaper kind
The cheaper kind
