Holding On to the Night lyrics

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 lie,

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.
