Heaven is a promise
Heaven is a place to lay your head
After endless days are over
I remember falling
I remember needing nothing else
But what we had til what we had was gone
Like the setting of the sun
Thought I could take it
Cause I was made for holding on
It's not the winter
I can handle the cold
If it's not forever
I'll keep warm til you're home
But your love was gone for longer
Than my tired heart could take
It's not the winter
It's the spring that never came
Sure you had your reasons
Sure that you were trying to survive
As you held your heart like cards against your chest
But years inside a season
Made me feel like I was gonna die
Watching embers fade til all that was left
Was the memory of innocence
It's not the winter
I can handle the cold
If it's not forever
I'll keep warm til you're home
But your love was gone for longer
Than my tired heart could take
It's not the winter
It's the spring that never came
And I'll still take the blame
Cause if I could I'd change that December
But I just gotta say
It's not the winter
I can handle the cold
If it's not forever
I'll keep warm til you're home
But your love was gone for longer
Than my tired heart could take
It's not the winter
It's the spring that never came
