The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't wanna love the way I loved before

I don't wanna love that way no more

What've I been writing love songs for?

I don't want to write them anymore

I don't wanna sing from where I sang before

I don't wanna sing that way no more

What've I've been singing love songs for?

I don't wanna sing them anymore

I don't wanna be that girl no more

I don't wanna cry no more

I don't wanna die no more

So cut me down from this here tree

Cut the rope from off of me

Set me on the floor

I'm the only one I should adore

Oh, take me to church

I've done so many bad things it hurts

Yeah, take me to church

But not the ones that hurt

'Cause that ain't the truth

And that's not what it's worth

Yeah, take me to church

Oh, take me to church

I've done so many bad things it hurts

Yeah, get me to church

But not the ones that hurt

'Cause that ain't the truth

And that's not what it's worth

I'm gonna sing songs of loving and forgiving

Songs of eating and of drinking

Songs of living, songs of calling in the night

'Cause songs are like a bolt of light

And love's the only love you should invite

Songs of long and spiteful fails

Songs that won't let you sit still

Songs that mend your broken bones

And don't leave you alone

So get me down from this here tree

Take the rope from off of me

Set me on the floor

I'm the only one I should adore

Oh, take me to church

I've done so many bad things it hurts

Yeah take me to church

But not the ones that hurt

'Cause that ain't the truth

And that's not what it's worth

Yeah, take me to church

Oh, take me to church

I've done so many bad things it hurts

Yeah, get me to church

But not the ones that hurt

'Cause that ain't the truth

And that's not what it's worth
