[Verse 1]
I couldn't imagine life without your love, love
I don't know what happened, but I never got enough
Grew up as a young girl without your love, love, love, love
Grew up in the mountains, wrapped around me like a hug
[Refrain]
And you were ever distant, and I felt so ashamed
You didn't seem to love me, but we shared the same last name
[Pre-Chorus]
I always choose the hells I know
I never let the angels show me
[Chorus]
Unfamiliar heavens
Are slowly opening
I see them in the distance
And the colour of the sky is changing
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
For years, I would choose things that felt familiar
Boys and toys and places, wanted to keep my devils near (Ooh)
Didn't think I deserved to be loved, loved, loved, loved
Till I left my hometown, set myself free like a dove
[Refrain]
And you have never heard this 'cause you didn't want the truth
But I'm so sick of lying, I have nothing left to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
I always choose the hells I know
I never let the angels show me
[Chorus]
Unfamiliar heavens (Ooh-ooh)
Are slowly opening
I see them in the distance (Ooh-ooh)
And the colour of the sky is changing
[Post-Chorus]
It's finally over
It's in the past now
It's finally over
It's in the past now
[Bridge]
We choose the things we know
Till we choose to let them go
And now my heart is changed
So I let go of the pain
[Chorus]
'Cause unfamiliar heavens
Are slowly opening
I see them in the distance
And the colour of the sky is changing
[Outro]
It's finally over
It's in the past now
It's finally over
It's in the past now
