[Verse 1]
It's a Sunday mornin' choir just a little off-key
First kiss wasn't what you'd thought it'd be
The call you got that you thought could only be a bad dream
Your only child leavin' home when they turn eighteen
Breakin' up ends up bein' the best thing
When you realize what you want ain't what you need

[Chorus]
Hallelujah for the heartache
Hallelujah for the good days
Hallelujah for every breath we get
Hallelujah, amen

[Verse 2]
It's a Saturday night you never want to end
It's the broken heart you never got to mend
It's the words that you heard, that you can't un-hear again
It's the what you didn't know was the last goodbye
When you learn everything has a last time
The same mistakes that you made, you see in your little girl's eye

[Chorus]
Hallelujah for the heartache
Hallelujah for the good days
Hallelujah for every breath we get
Hallelujah, amen
[Bridge]
For the times we get
For the chance we don't
From the very first breath
'Til it's carved in stone

[Chorus]
Hallelujah for the heartache
Hallelujah for the good days
Hallelujah for every breath we get
Hallelujah, amen

[Outro]
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah for every breath we get
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Amen (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Amen
