Holding Onto Heaven Lyrics

Starless sky
We've got so good at pretending
There's a side, a side to you, that isn't running
But I don't know where it is that you've been hiding
But I need you tonight
But I need you tonight

'Cause' I'm holding onto heaven
Lights fade but I won't let them
Oh I'm holding onto heaven
When I breathe and it's only you

All these years
I've been chasing down the answers
I was here, always tracing out your shadows
But I need you tonight

'Cause' I'm holding onto heaven
Lights fade but I won't let them
Oh I'm holding onto heaven
When I breathe and it's only you

I can't take it
'Cause you think nobody sees what you're doing to me
I'm telling you guilt is in your eyes
I hate what you've done, what you've made me become
No sleep, face the night

Oh I'm holding on
Lights fade but I won't let them
'Cause' I'm holding onto heaven
When I breathe and it's only you

'Cause' I'm holding, 'cause' I'm holding
'Cause' I'm holding onto heaven ('Cause' I'm holding onto heaven)
'Cause' I'm holding, 'cause' I'm holding
Lights fade but I won't let them
'Cause' I'm holding onto heaven
'Cause' I'm holding, holding onto heaven
