Where were you when I needed heat? I'm frozen Gotta get myself up and believe I'm broken Swim forward, we're under water She took your breath away Tell me love, thought you said you'd die for me No heavy rain's gonna hold me down anymore No sin or shame's gonna strain my soul, oh no Another day I'm the shine in your eyes Another day Gonna hold my head up high Higher, higher, higher, My head up My head up My head up One day was all it took for us To fall apart Ship sinking with my heavy heart Come rescue us I stay strong, melt the words on my tongue Lights flash, you walk away Love's so big Got no room for hate in me No heavy rain's gonna hold me down anymore No sin or shame's gonna strain my soul, oh no Another day I'm the shine in your eyes Another day Gonna hold my head up high All these times I told myself Inseparable but time would tell Nothing is set in stone Carved in wood can't control All these nights I begged for rest Spin off into the wilderness Nothing is set in stone Turn my back Hit the road No heavy rain's gonna hold me down anymore No sin or shame's gonna strain my soul, oh no Another day I'm the shine in your eyes Another day Gonna hold my head up high
