Lyrics

he searched for those wings that he knew, that this angel should have at her back, and although he can't find them, he really don't mind, because he knows they'll grow back, and he reached for that halo that he knows, that she had when she first caught his eye, although his hand came back empty, he's really not worried, 'cause he knows it still shines, i can't promise that i'll grow those wings, or keep this tarnished halo shined, but i'll never betray your trust, angel mine, i search all the time on the ground, for our shadows cast side by side, just to remind me that i haven't gone crazy, that you exist and are mine, and i know that your skin is as warm and as real, as that smile in your eyes, but i have to keep touching and smelling, and tasting for fear it's all lies, i can't promise that i'll grow those wings, or keep this tarnished halo shined, but i'll never betray your trust, angel mine, last night i awoke from the deepest of sleeps, with your voice in my head, and i could tell by your breathing, that you were still sleeping, i repeated those words that you had said, i can't promise that i'll grow those wings, or keep this tarnished halo shined, but i'll never betray your trust, angel mine
