Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby

I'm crying in the chapel, baby
You stole my love, darling
You build me up and now you found somebody

All alone
You told me it was mine

All mine
Uh, oh man

I'm crying in the chapel, baby
You stole my love, darling

I ain't never, never think you'd ever leave me baby
I made up my mind
I was gonna love you baby
Til the end of time
I was gonna love you again

All alone
You told me baby it was mine
All mine
All mine

No no no no baby
Please

I'm crying in the chapel, baby
You stole my love, darling

I'm crying my last tear baby
You stole my love
And you can't get it back
No more
It's my time to love
Again
It's my time to feel love
And get loved
Not with you... baby
Oh! Uh, baby

I wish you darling
You got me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bradley Charles's song "Crying in the Chapel" are about a heartbroken person who is crying in a chapel because their lover has left them for someone else. The singer feels deceived by their partner, who they trusted and loved deeply. The first verse is about how the partner built them up and made them feel special, only to let them down and leave them feeling alone and devastated. The repetition of the line "you stole my love darling" highlights the idea that the singer feels like their love was taken away from them without warning or reason.

However, the partner broke that commitment and left them alone to cry in the chapel. The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the heartbroken feeling of losing love and being alone.

The last stanza speaks about the singer's resolve to move on, to love once again after their heartbreak. They will not be held back by their past experiences and will seek out a new love that is genuine and true. The song's overall theme is about love and loss, the pain of heartbreak, and the hope of moving on and finding new love.
