Sweethearts never last down here
Say nothing sweet about love

We walk on the line my dear
Fall and never get up

It's out of my hands
But I won't leave you
Enough of your faith
Where does it lead you

Cause love is not fair
And war isn't holy
This is our prayer
The church of the lonely

Leave your tears at the alter
Your son's and your daughters'
It's out of our hands
Love has finally caught us
We tried to be strong but
It's out of our hands

No fear for the law man
No words for the judge
Lost out to a mother long gone
Nah the devil ain't done

It's out of my hands
I won't leave you
Not for your faith
Where does it lead you

Love is not fair
And war isn't holy
This is our prayer
The church of the lonely

Leave your tears at the altar
Your son's and your daughters'
It's out of our hands
Love has finally caught us
We tried to be strong but
It's out of our hands

Trapped in a lonely time
Waiting for what comes around
If that's what it's all about
Close my eyes and lay it down
So much to talk about
So afraid to let it out
But we'll find a way somehow
Close to here
But far from now

Leave your tears at the altar
Your son's and your daughters'
It's out of our hands
Love has finally caught us
We tried to be strong but
It's out of our hands
