Heaven Owes Me Nothing

(Ohhh Heaven owes me nothing)

(Ohhh)

I used to beg the skyline

For something I could keep

A light to cut the darkness

A promise in my sleep

Every quiet prayer I made

Felt like it went unheard

Just echoes in the silence

Of every whispered word

I thought if I kept reaching

Something might reach back

A hand through all the distance

A light inside the black

But hope can feel like hunger

And faith can feel like theft

When all the things you asked for

Are all the things you’ve left

I waited for a miracle

To fall into my hands

But all I got was gravity

And things I couldn’t stand (ooohhh)

If every star is fading

If every dream must end

Then maybe I was foolish

To think the sky would bend

Heaven owes me nothing

Not a single thing at all

Every prayer I whispered

Never learned to fall

I asked for something holy

But silence was enough

Heaven owes me nothing

And nothing’s what I got

I stopped looking upward

For signs I couldn’t see

Stopped asking for the answers

That never came to me

All the doors I waited on

Were never mine to find

Some things aren’t meant for saving

Some dreams are left behind

But then I felt you next to me

Like something real and true

All the things I prayed for

Were standing there in you (ohhh)

Heaven owes me nothing

Not a single thing at all

Every prayer I whispered

Never learned to fall

I asked for something holy

But silence was enough

Heaven owes me nothing

And nothing’s what I got

I don’t need the heavens opening

I don’t need the stars to move

Every answer I was chasing

Was already in you

Heaven owes me nothing

Now I finally see

Every wish I ever made

Was standing next to me

I was asking for a miracle

Yet I was already blessed

Heaven owes me nothing

‘Cause your heart I possess

No more wishing on the night

No more asking for a sign

Heaven owes me nothing

‘Cause heaven made you mine

(Ohhhh)
