Holding Absence

Saint Cecilia Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The perfect cadence that I wish I could complete

You take me by surprise and sweep me off my feet

I've spent a lifetime thinking you and I should meet

You're in my eye line every time I dream



[Pre-Chorus]

Here's the thing... You make my heart sing



[Chorus]

Cecilia, I've lost your love

I've given up, I've had enough

Saint Cecilia, I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough

I've given up



[Verse 2]

Nowadays, I am nailed to your stave

I used to sleep for days - now I'm wide awake

What is there for you to do

When the thing that you live for is dying beside you?

That's the thing - You break my heartstrings



[Chorus]

Cecilia, I've lost your love

I've given up, I've had enough

Saint Cecilia, I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough

I've given up



[Post-Chorus]

Here's the thing...

I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough

I've given up
