Hallelujah
K's Choice Lyrics

I heard there was a secret chord
There's a special way to make music that few people know about

That David played and it pleased the Lord
David knew how to make music that God loved

But you don't really care for music, do you?
You don't seem to appreciate music as much as you should

Well it goes like this:
Here's how the special chord progression goes:

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
You use these specific musical notes in this order

The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Even a king was surprised by how good this music sounded

Well, maybe I've been here before
I feel like I've experienced this situation before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I'm very familiar with this place and its surroundings

I used to live with alone before I knew ya
I was lonely before I met you and started living with you

And he's seen your flag on the marble arch
This other person has noticed something that's important to you

But love is not a victory march
Being in love doesn't guarantee a happy ending

Says it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Love is often difficult and leads to a sad expression of joy

There was a time when you let me know
You used to share your feelings with me

What's really going on below
You told me what was happening in your life, your thoughts and your feelings

But now you never show that to me do ya
Lately, you don't share those things with me anymore

Well remember when I moved in you
I recall the time when we started living together and sharing our lives

And the holy dove was moving too
We had a spiritual connection that created a sense of harmony

And every breath you drew was Hallelujah
Everything seemed perfect and beautiful

Well maybe there's a God above
There could be a divine presence

But all I've ever learned from love
Love has only taught me one thing so far

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Sometimes love means hurting someone who has hurt you first

Well it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not a literal cry, but an expression of sadness and disappointment

It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's not someone who has had a sudden realization of something profound

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Love can leave you feeling empty and alone, despite attempts to celebrate it

It's not what you're told
Beliefs and expectations about love aren't always accurate

It's not her face
A person's physical appearance is not the only thing that counts in a relationship

It's not his touch
Physical intimacy alone doesn't make for a fulfilling relationship

In the room you both share
The space where you both live and spend time together

When he's gone when he left
When the other person isn't around anymore

When your time and your memory fills your dreams
When you're thinking about all the moments you've spent together in the past

When you're honest and together
When you're open and communicative with each other

Together no more
Despite all of this, you're not together anymore

Hallelujah, until you're nothing
The word Hallelujah is meaningless in this context

Hallelujah, baby, until she's everywhere
The word Hallelujah represents an empty expression of hope and longing for the other person

Hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I'd lost
Hallelujah is a way to express that you've lost something special when you're no longer together

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
The repetition of Hallelujah at the end reinforces the idea of emptiness and disappointment
