As I kneel before your altar, I begin to cry You were my perfect blue My hands together in a search for proof Silence rang out from your window One is not the loneliest number Won't keep puttin' all my faith in you One is not the loneliest number Got me turning far away from you I'm at your altar, baby I once believed, I once believed I was free I'm at your altar, baby, now I can see You're gonna end up killing me Oh, I must only be one As I lie awake in this room, I begin to pray You and I, so violently Could be together in forbidden scenes My mind is torturing my body One is not the loneliest number I won't keep puttin' all my faith in you One is not the loneliest number Got me turning far away from you I'm at your altar, baby I once believed, I once believed I was free I'm at your altar, baby, now I can see You're gonna end up killing me Oh, I must only be one I must only be one I must only be one
