Charli XCX - Altars Lyrics

Charli XCX Lyrics

"Altars"
(from "Wuthering Heights" soundtrack)

As I kneel before your altar, I begin to cry
You were my perfect blue
My hands together in a search for proof
Silence rang out from your window

One is not the loneliest number
Won't keep puttin' all my faith in you
One is not the loneliest number
Got me turning far away from you
I'm at your altar, baby
I once believed, I once believed I was free
I'm at your altar, baby, now I can see
You're gonna end up killing me
Oh, I must only be one

As I lie awake in this room, I begin to pray
You and I, so violently
Could be together in forbidden scenes
My mind is torturing my body

One is not the loneliest number
I won't keep puttin' all my faith in you
One is not the loneliest number
Got me turning far away from you
I'm at your altar, baby
I once believed, I once believed I was free
I'm at your altar, baby, now I can see
You're gonna end up killing me
Oh, I must only be one

I must only be one
I must only be one
