  • 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 Writer/s: Edward Jonathan Harris, Louisa Rose Allen, Tobias Gad
