“Heaven” details the fall of a doomed relationship, with Lynn comparing her ex-partner’s love to Heaven itself. The track was released as the lead single from All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell and debuted on BBC Radio 1.
[Verse 1]
I think we were cursed from the start
Second I let you into my heart
Do you think we were speaking in tongues
Or simply not enough?
And do you ever wonder
Who took the light from our life?
The life from our eyes?
And all we did was suffer
Why couldn't we just say?
[Chorus]
(You took my heart)
(You took my heart)
You took my Heaven away
(You took my heart)
Away
(You took my heart)
[Verse 2]
Our love is pushing out and pulling in
And just like a rising and falling chest that's barely breathing
And did you ever wonder (Did you ever wonder?)
About the dread on my tongue?
The blood in my lungs?
And all I did was suffer
I was too afraid to say
[Chorus]
(You took my heart)
You took my Heaven away
(You took my heart)
You took my—
You took my Heaven away
(You took my heart)
Away
(You took my heart)
[Post-Chorus]
(You took my heart)
(You took my heart)
You took my Heaven away
You took my, you took my, you took my Heaven away
You took my, you took my, you took my Heaven away
You took my, you took my, you took my Heaven away (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
You took my, you took my, you took my Heaven away (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Bridge]
I think we were cursed from the start
[Chorus]
You took my—
(You took my heart)
(You took my heart)
You took my Heaven away
(You took my heart)
(You took my, you took my, you took my Heaven away)
Away
(You took my heart)
(You took my, you took my, you took my Heaven away)
[Outro]
(You took my heart)
(You took my heart)
Oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
