[Verse 1] Two a.m. and the mirror's honest Lipstick smeared like a confession I don't need your absolution I built my own religion [Pre-Chorus] So light the candle, burn the letter Watch me rise like it's forever I was down but I know better [Chorus] I'm dancing on my own altar Never gonna falter Call me by my name I'm not the same, not the same Like a prayer to nobody I believe in me, only me Hallelujah, watch me leave I'm not the same, not the same [Verse 2] You said I'd break without your shadow Baby, I'm the light in every window Traded all your empty promises For a beat that hits and never quits [Pre-Chorus] So light the candle, burn the letter Watch me rise like it's forever I was down but I know better [Chorus] I'm dancing on my own altar Never gonna falter Call me by my name I'm not the same, not the same Like a prayer to nobody I believe in me, only me Hallelujah, watch me leave I'm not the same, not the same [Bridge] Strip it down — just skin and heartbeat Strip it down — this is my street No apologies, no encore I don't answer to you anymore [Chorus] I'm dancing on my own altar Never gonna falter Call me by my name I'm not the same, not the same Like a prayer to nobody I believe in me, only me Hallelujah, watch me leave I'm not the same, not the same [Outro] Not the same... not the same... Hallelujah, I'm not the same
