Halfway to Heaven

Mm, feels like déjà vu...

(I've been here before, haven't I?)

I'm still dancing with the ghost of you

You said forever but time disagreed

(Yeah, time's a liar...)

Love was a promise we couldn't keep

Still, every morning your shadow's near

(I swear I see you sometimes...)

Even when I know you're not really here

I laugh just to cover the tears

(Ha fake it, right?)

But it echoes louder each year

I'm fine, at least that's the show...

(But you know better)

But my heart, it still don't know

I'm halfway to heaven, halfway to pain

(Can't choose a side...)

Caught in the middle, can't break the chain

Sunshine fades but the glow remains

(Why does it linger?)

You're the echo I can't explain

Halfway to heaven, halfway undone

Chasing a future that already's gone

Friends say I'm glowing, I fake a smile

(You're doing great, babe—am I though?)

Truth is I've been lost for quite a while

Moving in circles, I try to run

(But everywhere looks like you...)

But every sunset looks like you, love

I sing just to quiet the ache

(Humming through the pain...)

But silence is harder to fake

I'm strong, or maybe I pretend

(Guess that's my talent)

'Cause this story has no end

I'm halfway to heaven

(Just stuck, stuck, stuck...)

Caught in the middle, can't break the chain

Sunshine fades but the glow remains

(Always glowing, never gone...)

You're the echo I can't explain

Halfway to heaven, halfway undone

Chasing a future that already's gone

Maybe love's supposed to hurt

(But this much?)

Maybe that's how we learn

But tell me why goodbye feels

Like I'm waiting my turn

(It's cruel, isn't it?)

I'm halfway to heaven, halfway to pain

Living in memories I can't contain

Sunshine fades but the glow remains

(Always you, always you...)

You're the echo I can't explain

Halfway to heaven, halfway undone...

And I'm still holding on

(Still holding on...)

Mm... halfway to heaven

(Whispering your name...)
