Holding On to the Night

Side by side we lie here
Prisoners in the dark
Afraid to face the things we feel
Afraid to even start

Silent daggers cut right through
Spaces thick with fear
You hold on tight to what you know
You know there's nothing here

And when you laugh, you look away
Before you start to cry
There’s a little bit of madness
Behind your eyes

You keep holdin' on to the night (holdin' on to the night)
Holdin’ on to the night (holdin' on)
It's all you got, you can't let go
You know it isn't right
You keep holdin' on to the night

Side by side we lie here
Prisoners in the dark
Afraid to face the things we feel
Afraid to even start

And though we live this lonely life
A masquerade of love
Two frozen hearts
That can't seem to touch

You keep holdin' on to the night (holdin’ on to the night)
Holdin’ on to the night (holdin' on to the night)
It’s all you got, you can't let go
You know it isn't right
You keep holdin' on to the night

Maybe if we light the torch
Stop asking who’s to blame
We could see the truth
Rising through the flame

You keep holdin' on to the night (holdin' on)
Holdin' on to the night (holdin' on to the night)
It's all you got, you can't let go
You know it isn't right
You keep holdin' on to the night

Holdin' on to the night (holdin' on to the night)
Holdin' on to the night (holdin' on to the night)
It's all you got, you can't let go
You know it isn't right
You keep holdin' on to the night

Holdin' on to the night
