[Verse 1]
When you'd hold me, we would slip into a paradise
Slowly drifting to another life
Recklessly, you promised me forever
A promise you refused to keep

[Chorus]
Stranded in eternity
How'd you fall so far from me?
Chained between these wounded wings
I can barely breathe
Hold the key that I can't keep
Broken but I cannot leave
So I'll be standing at the gates
Heaven is a lonely place
Heaven is a lonely place

[Verse 2]
Closed eyes
How could I be so blind to never realize
You were climbing down when I was rising higher
You were moving on with my heart's still on fire, oh

[Chorus]
Stranded in eternity
How'd you fall so far from me?
Chained between these wounded wings
I can barely breathe
Hold the key that I can't keep
Broken but I cannot leave
So I'll be standing at the gates
Heaven is a lonely place
Heaven is a lonely place
Heaven is a lonely place
Heaven is a lonely place
Heaven is a lonely place
Heaven is a lonely place
Heaven is a lonely place
