Heavenly Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Took a little time for me to figure it out
Noises in my head that I can never drown out
But you wouldn't know what I'm talking about
'Cause you weren't around
I'm tired of all the he said and she said
And three in the morning regrets
About some shit that you can't let go
I'm tired of feeling useless and stupid
'Cause you don't know how to be human
Oh, I'm about done with the show

[Chorus]
Why does it feel so (Ooh, ooh)
Heavenly, heavenly?
Thought letting you go (Ooh, ooh)
Would hit me heavily, mentally
You kissed me goodbye
Ooh, it's easy in your eyes
And finally I could breathe
I'm sorry but it's
So (So), so (So)
Heavenly, heavenly
(Heaven, heaven)
[Verse 2]
Left a lot of people that I needed behind
Drowning my heart out while I cover my eyes
Mixing up the pain with the butterflies
Baby, I don't
Know why I had to hold on for so long
I don't do that for no one
Guess I was scared to say it myself
I'm tired of all that you do but I don't
Feel like I'm walking a tightrope
Time I started taking control, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
Why does it feel so (Ooh, ooh)
Heavenly, heavenly?
Thought letting you go (Ooh, ooh)
Would hit me heavily, mentally
You kissed me goodbye
Ooh, it's easy in your eyes
And finally I could breathe
I'm sorry but it's
So (So), so (So)
Heavenly, heavenly

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Why does it feel so heavenly, heavenly, heavenly? (Oh, oh, oh)
Why does it feel so heavenly, heavenly, heavenly? (Oh, oh, oh)
Why does it feel so heavenly? (Oh, oh, oh, baby)
[Chorus]
Why does it feel so (Ooh, ooh)
Heavenly, heavenly?
Thought letting you go (Ooh, ooh)
Would hit me heavily, mentally
You kissed me goodbye
Ooh, it's easy in your eyes
And finally I could breathe
I'm sorry but it's
So (So), so (So)
Heavenly, heavenly
(Heaven, heaven)

[Outro]
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven

What did Mimi Webb say about "Heavenly"?
Genius Answer

I actually wrote this around three or four years ago, about my first ex-boyfriend. We went back and forth for a good few years and then suddenly, the last time round, I just didn’t want it anymore. It had gone on for so long and I was just exhausted. I made the decision I was over it. I went into the studio and I was like, ‘I’ve just done something that I never thought I’d have the strength to do. I’ve ended it and it just feels great. It feels really heavenly.’ It’s got this dark, moody, sexier feel to it and brings out a different side to me as an artist and a person.
