Hanging On - Ellie Goulding

Miss you like I miss the days in aphelion Get no sleep, I need you like valerian And I've been waiting for you Keep myself steady under influence Tricks my mind, believe that I feel whole again But all of the time, I'm waiting for you All of the time, I'm waiting for you I'm on my knees Oh, pretty please, I'm hanging on Tell myself to knock it off, shake it off Can't keep up the rush of blood that I'm bleeding out Can't afford, but all of the time, I'm thinking of you And all of the time my head's filled with you I'm on my knees Oh, pretty please, I'm hanging on Without you, I can hardly breathe But even when I play, I'm hanging on, on Until you're coming back to me My holographic heart's hanging on, on I'm on my knees Oh, pretty please, I'm hanging on I'm hanging on (ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) I'm hanging on (oh, oh-oh, oh) (Hanging on, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) (Hanging on, oh, oh-oh, oh) (Hanging on, oh, oh-oh, oh) (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) (Hanging on) (Until you're coming back, I'm hanging on)

I'm blown away how you can play the innocent You burned it all down Why do I stay to catch a glimpse of what we know Will never be found? Hey, did you ever love me like you say? Did you ever go and try and make my heart your home? Hey, did you ever love me like you say? 'Cause I'm tired of praying for useless miracles Meet me on the west side Up here on the high line Got a couple words worth saying Talked it out in my head But all my thoughts are faded Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on Meet me on the west side Up here on the high line Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on I can't escape, been here too many times before I see 'em all now Look how we changed, not the reflection that I know That's looking back out Hey, did you ever love me like you say? Did you ever go and try and make my heart your home? Hey, did you ever love me like you say? 'Cause I'm tired of praying for useless miracles Meet me on the west side Up here on the high line Got a couple words worth saying Talked it out in my head But all my thoughts are faded Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on Meet me on the west side Up here on the high line Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on You keep me holding on to hope I know it's dumb Meet me on the west side Up here on the high line Got a couple words worth saying Talked it out in my head But all my thoughts are faded Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on Even though it hurts, I keep hanging on

It was just my mistake thinking you cared It was just my mistake thinking you'd be there That you'd be by my side and that you wouldn't lie My mistake It was just my false hope thinking we'd last, yeah It was just my false hope, forgot all your past All those girls you denied Smashed up hearts hung out to dry I know it's wrong, hanging on too long I know it's wrong, hanging on too long But I need to move on, hanging on too long I was a fool for you right from the start, yeah I was a fool for you hoping for a spark For some kind of sign that you would be mine I know it's wrong, I do, hanging on too long And I know it's wrong, hanging on too long My heart was clutching to one fair right My head was pumping, it could put up a fight I know it's wrong, hanging on too long And I know it's wrong, hanging on too long And I need to move on, I'm hanging on too long I know it's wrong, hanging on too long And I know it's wrong, hanging on too long

Don't just keep me, hanging On and on and on You say love But I'm not the one Don't just keep me hanging On and on and on Cut me down won't ya Let me loose darlin Let me drown baby, Let me drown baby Cut me down won't ya Let me loose darlin Don't just keep me hanging On and on and on On and on and on On and on and on On and on and on Don't just keep me Don't just keep me Are we done?

You know we can get away Because I'm calling your name Every day I feel this pain But you just turn and walk away I just can't keep hanging on To you and me I just don't know what is wrong With you and me Touch me and then turn away Put your hands into the flame Tell me if you feel this pain 'Cause I don't want to be your ball and chain I just can't keep hanging on To you and me I just don't know what is wrong With you and me With you and me I just can't keep hanging on With you and me I just don't know what is wrong I just can't keep hanging on To you and me I just don't know what is wrong

I've been filling in the blanks You left me with your open hands I never knew what I had to do Stumbling out in the dark You left me with a question mark You said the bridges had to be burned And it's a pain that only we know Of when lost all on your own Always has to be a new scare To keep us falling over the edge So, have another drink Have another drink, on me If this is what it takes If it's what it takes, baby Dream another dream 'Cause you're killing it, honey This is what we do to get by We're always chasing that paradise Paradise Uh-oh, Paradise, Uh-uh Uh, Paradise, Uh-oh-uh There's a place we try to reach Impossible as it would seem I heard you crying out in your sleep I see that look you save for me I pull you back upon your feet I know you always need something more, more And it's a pain that only we know Of when you lost it all on your own Always has to be a new scare To keep us falling over the edge So, have another drink Have another drink, on me If this is what it takes If it's what it takes, baby Dream another dream 'Cause you're killing it, honey This is what we do to get by We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-uh Uh-oh, Paradise, Uh-uh We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-uh Uh-oh, Paradise, Uh-uh I know we're headed for a moment, baby We made sense of it I know I struck you so reckless, honey We gave into it (paradise) I know we're headed for a moment, baby We made sense of it (paradise) I know I struck you so reckless, honey We gave in So, have another drink Have another drink, on me If this is what it takes If it's what it takes, baby Dream another dream 'Cause you're killing it, honey This is what we do to get by We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-uh Uh-oh, Paradise We're always chasing that paradise, Uh-Uh-uh Paradise

Human, behave yourself You have burst at the seams Let it all fall out, opened your mouth Often I lie wide awake Think of things I can make But I don't seem to have the parts to build them Human, I wonder why You're a better make than I could ever build or create You know not love or hate I am so scared of what will kill me in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance To be someone, to be human Look what we've done Look what we've done I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human Human, I'm trying to come clean I will be a better me I will not drink until I'm dead I'll make the most of it I don't know what it's like to be alive To say goodbye, to cry a thousand times Because my ears won't listen Human, I'm trying not to lose my faith in you I've sussed out all that I've seen through I've sailed an ocean I am so scared of what I'll look like in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance To be someone, to be human Look what we've done Look what we've done I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I used to hear it all so loud The sound of my heart breaking The truth is waiting to be found I trust that I will take it I would give my life I would give my life, human I would give my life, human I would give my life, human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human

You trembled like you'd seen a ghost And I gave in I lack the things you need the most, you said where have you been You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide I wonder why I remind you of the days you poured your heart into But you never tried I've fallen from grace Took a blow to my face I've loved and I've lost I've loved and I've lost Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same It will never be the same You left my soul bleeding in the dark So you could be king The rules you set are still untold To me and I lost my faith in everything The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold But the mountains will shake I need to know I can still make Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same And as the floods move in And your body starts to sink I was the last thing on your mind I know you better than you think 'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces So watch them fall with you, in slow motion I pray that you will find peace of mind And I'll find you another time I'll love you, another time Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same
