Rina Sawayama - Holy (Til You Let Me Go)

[Verse 1]
Heavenly, that was me
A vision at seventeen
Loves to read, loves to dream
The college of Magdalene

[Pre-Chorus]
You saw a light starting to shine
Wanted it only for your eyes
Older and wise, God on your side
(I paid for your life, I paid for your life)

[Chorus]
I was innocent when you said I was evil
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
Found my peace when I lost my religion
All these years I wished I was different
But, oh, now I know
I'm holy 'til you let me go

[Verse 2]
Tried to pray the pain away
Just like you taught me (But something had changed)
Came to shelter from the blame
But I left taking all the shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you saw a light starting to shine
Wanted it only for your eyes
Older and wise, God on your side
(I was the martyr who paid for your life)

[Chorus]
I was innocent when you said I was evil
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
Found my peace when I lost my religion
All these years I wished I was different
But, oh, no, now I know
I'm holy till you let me go

[Post-Chorus]
I'm holy till you let me go
I'm holy till you let me go
I'm holy till you let me go
I'm holy till you let me go

[Outro]
They told you that?
That's the conclusion that came to me
Was not that it happened in the first place
But that there was no one looking after you
