Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Times that I've seen you lose your way

You're not in control and you won't be told

All I can do to keep you safe is hold you close

Hold you close till you can breathe on your own

Till you can breathe on your own

[Verse 2]

Hold tight, you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Hold tight, you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, I won't let you down

[Verse 3]

Everyone keeps a darker place

To lose control, you're not alone

And when you come looking for embrace

I know your soul, I'll be your home

Till you can breathe on your own

Till you can breathe on your own

[Verse 4]

Hold tight, you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Hold tight, you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up

And I won't let you down

[Verse 5]

You never think that you can fly

You'll always swim against the tide

Don't you know your pain is mine?

And I would die a thousand times to ease your mind

To ease your mind

[Verse 6]

Hold tight, you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Hold tight, you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up

And I won't let you down
