Holy (Til You Let Me Go) Lyrics – Rina Sawayama

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

[Pre-Chorus: Rina Sawayama]
You saw a light starting to shine
Wanted it only for your eyes
Older and wise, God on your side
(I've been realizing, I’ve been realizing)

[Chorus: Rina Sawayama]
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 'til you let me go

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

[Pre-Chorus: Rina Sawayama]
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: Rina Sawayama]
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: Rina Sawayama]
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: Rina Sawayama]
They told you...
That's the ...? came to me
Was not that it happened in the past tense
But that there was many looking after you
