Lyrics of “Secondhand Church” by Lanterns By Sea
Don’t leave me

Don’t fade west

Don’t storm off like strings in a choral regret

Cause I’ve been so scared

You’re packing your bags

All the demons you’ll leave

They won’t take you back

Then God spent

His Godspeed

And now I’m too slow to believe

I wouldn’t say your worth

Was measured upon me

Just losing steam

In a secondhand church

Now time took

What she could

In youth I met her

More than I should

Don’t leave me

I need you.

The ghost of your soul

Will haunt me soon.

I wouldn’t say your worth

Was measured upon me

Just losing steam

In a secondhand church

[Repeat]

So pack up and leave your note

We’re going far away

Cause I’d rather forgive that church

And let this stay

Cause I

I wouldn’t say your worth

I wanna save your worth

I wanna save

I wouldn’t say your worth

Was measured upon me

Just losing steam

In a secondhand church

If I would’ve known your pain

I would’ve wrapped you tight

Kept you warm

I would’ve stayed.
