What Was Heaven?

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can't run to the light

It's you that I need

I could cut myself with a knife

For you babe and bleed

What was heaven without you babe

Now everything is complete

I sometimes wish it's a novel

And I'd see you in the street

All the day is the night

But somehow I just can't sleep

Somehow though it don't seem right

I had you but love didn't keep

What was heaven without you babe

Now everything is complete

I sometimes wish it's a novel

And I'd see you in the street

Sometimes I hear your voice

Echoing it makes me cry

I don't seem to have the choice

I want you but I don't wanna die

What was heaven without you babe

Now everything is complete

I sometimes wish it's a novel

And I'd see you in the street
