Silence and absence
Are good friends of yours
In the quiet of footsteps
And the slamming of doors

I build on foundations
And I scrub the walls clean
Just for you to spot stains
I couldn't have seen

And so your voice raises to meet my breaking
What once I gave you now you're taking
"It's because they love you"
There's no mistaking

So I keep singing to my aching

I believe in a light at the end of the tunnel
I believe in a you who can love me again
I believe in a beauty hidden in the rubble
I believe, I believe that all bad things do end

Numbness and loathing
We're on speaking terms
Scar tissue softens
Allows for new burns

I pray and I fast
And I heed the church bell
Just for you to make my life
A living hell

And so my voice breaks to crown your winning
Try to hide delight, your eyes are grinning
Can you really love the sinner?
And hate the sinning?

And so I'll keep singing

I believe in a light at the end of the tunnel
I believe in a you who can love me again
I believe in a beauty hidden in the rubble
I believe, I believe that all bad things do end

I believe in a day that will mend all the broken
I believe in a you who can love me again
I believe that the night speaks the unspoken
I believe, I believe that all bad things do end

That all bad things do end
That all bad things do end

Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven
Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven
Forgive you seven times, will I get into Heaven?
(If I)
Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven

Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven
Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven
Forgive you seven times, will I get into Heaven?
(If I)
Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven

I believe in a light at the end of the tunnel
I believe in a you who can love me again
I believe in a beauty hidden in the rubble
I believe, I believe that all bad things do end

I believe in a day that will mend all the broken
I believe in a you who can love me again
I believe that the night speaks the unspoken
I believe, I believe that all bad things do end

Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven
Forgive you seven times, times seven times seven
Forgive you seven times, will I get into Heaven?
Will I get into Heaven?
