[Verse 1]

Stained-glass shadows on the hotel wall

Three in the morning and I’m missing your call

Gold chain hanging from a half-button shirt

Looking successful but it still kinda hurts

The city keeps talking, the neon won’t sleep

Every promise we made is a debt that I keep

I got champagne problems in a penthouse suite

But your ghost keeps dancing to the drums and the beat

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know, I know

Some things never change

You can run from the fire

But you still feel the flame

[Chorus]

I drink from the chalice

Gold on my lips like a habit

Holy water mixed with static

Turned my heartbreak into magic

Amen for the damage

Amen for the nights

Amеn for the people

Who disappеar with the light

I drink from the chalice

Even when I know I shouldn’t

Trying to forget your name

But I never really could

[Verse 2]

Velvet ropes and a blacked-out car

Everybody’s trying to be somebody they aren’t

Crystal glasses reflecting the room

But all I can see is the shape of you

The preacher said love is a sacred thing

But nobody told me about the sting

You left your perfume in the back of my mind

Now every crowded room feels one of a kind

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know, I know

Some things never change

You can bury the memory

But it rises again

[Chorus]

I drink from the chalice

Gold on my lips like a habit

Holy water mixed with static

Turned my heartbreak into magic

Amen for the damage

Amen for the nights

Amen for the people

Who disappear with the light

I drink from the chalice

Even when I know I shouldn’t

Trying to forget your name

But I never really could

[Bridge]

Maybe heaven isn’t somewhere far away

Maybe it’s the seconds that we couldn’t make stay

Maybe every blessing comes dressed as a goodbye

Maybe that’s the reason that I’m still getting by

So raise a glass to the dream

Raise a glass to the fall

Raise a glass to the ones

Who never loved us at all

[Final Chorus]

I drink from the chalice

Gold on my lips like a habit

Holy water mixed with static

Turned my heartbreak into magic

Amen for the damage

Amen for the nights

Amen for the memories

That keep me up sometimes

I drink from the chalice

One last toast to your shadow

The city’s getting brighter

But tonight I’ll let it happen

[Outro]

Stained-glass shadows on the hotel wall

Three in the morning and I’m missing your call

I drink from the chalice

And watch your ghost dissolve
