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.
