[Intro]
Mm, mm, mm (Hey)
Mm, mm (Oh-oh)
Mm, mm, mm (Hey)
Mm, mm (Oh-oh)
[Verse 1]
My redemption is slow burning
With no stop signs, oh, no turning
When you got someone who believes they're right
Would you bring a knife to a gun fight? Oh
'Cause you're sufferin', ooh, while they're learnin'
[Pre-Chorus]
When your body is goin' under
And there's somethin' you gotta find
When your god is out of thunder
And you're walkin' on the line
[Chorus]
Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
When love goes dark
Hold on tight to your heart, ooh
(Mm, mm, mm)
[Verse 2]
Your secrets are worth hiding
We're livin' in a wasteland, honеy
When you cover it in money, it gеts so exciting (Ooh)
When you know somethin' doesn't feel quite right
Then could you tell a little white lie? (Hey)
It's just half a heart
Don't tell me that's too far
[Pre-Chorus]
When your body is goin' under
And there's somethin' you gotta find
When your god is out of thunder
And you're walkin' on the line
[Chorus]
Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
When love goes dark
Hold on tight to your heart, ooh
(Mm, mm, mm)
[Bridge]
Are you so certain
Of the people you are lovin'?
Are you always right to trust them?
Is their sanctuary a sin?
Are you so certain?
[Chorus]
Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
When love goes dark
Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
When love goes dark
Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
When love goes dark
Hold on tight to your heart
(Mm, mm, mm)
[Outro]
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
