Heaven Holds Dear

I can't hold on.
I can't face the night.
I can't cling to you.
I can't stand to lie.

Sometimes I wanna forget everything.
Sometimes I wanna die.
Sometimes I think of something.
That'll make you wonder why.

I shed all the tears.
All the fears.
And all heaven holds dear.

I don't need to be weighed down by guilt.
That's not why my heart was built.
I can see what's in your heart.
I can see every part.
I can see the way it starts.

And I don't need you.
To carry me home on my shield.
No I won't walk.
I will stay right here in this open field.

Staring up at the sky.
Like it wasn't there before.
And I can't stop thinking.
About all those times on the floor.

Where I shed all my tears.
I shed all my fear.
And all heaven holds dear.

And I found out where it all goes.
All the love in the world.
It hides in your room.
When your doors are all closed.
Can't you hear my ghost calling you?

Telling you to come over here.
And shed all your tears.
All of your fears.
And all that heaven holds dear.
