A moment and forever

I'm sitting here and I'm
Caught between a moment and forever,
And I've never
Had a feeling quite like this
No, I don't want to miss
Not one single breath
Not one single kiss
I just want to hold you
Until my days are through
Until the world goes missing
And all that's left is you.

And I think that I still have
All the answers that you seek
The voice that can still move you
When your wings are far too weak
And I think that you're my saviour
The one that brings me to the light
The one who brings redemption
To a boy who's without sight

So for now just lend your graces
To the angel with no wings
To the demon in the darkness
Who's always breaking things
Let them pay their homage

To the one that they call love.
And give them both the heaven
That they never found above.

And don't forget you are the sun
That keeps them both alive.
Their hearts are cold and frozen
Without the warmth that you provide
But don't believe the demon
When he says such dreadful things
He just doesn't want to tell you,
He was never given wings.

Yours are far too beautiful
For him to even try.
He knows that he could never
Be worth the reasons why
That you could never hate him,
Or throw him all away.
But he knows that he still needs you
And he hopes that you don't sway.

From the path that's at his side
Through the darkness that he lives
He doesn't want to lose your hand
And be the one you can't forgive
So he tries to be the angel
That you loved from once before
But he knows that he can't fake it.
So he's not trying anymore

Yet still he clings to safty
Without ever knowing why
Hoping for the day that
He's an angel in your eyes.
So please do not give heed
To the things that he once said
Even demons can be wounded
From the ghosts inside their heads

And the angel in the corner
He never has a chance
To tell you that he loves you
Or steal a simple glance
The demon has him cornered,
His wings are tide and bound
And he's dreading for the day that
You no longer come around

He's just looking for the strenght
To let you know he's there
And to come out of the darkness
At the bottem of the stairs
He's waiting for your hands
To come release him from his cage.
He knows the demon's plotting
And his words have all been staged

So when you see the demon
For the wolf he really is
The angel's somewhere waiting
To let you know you're his.
He doesn't need a reason
To fall before your feet
And give you all the love you missed
When the demon had his wings

Yet still he seeks forgiveness
For the demon's faulty words
He knows that someday he'll regret the time
That he's no longer yours
He just wants to know you love him
And that you'll never go away.
So while the demon's somewhere hiding
The angel's yours today.

Just remember that he never
Had one foul word in mind.
And in you there's no fault
That he could ever find.
So believe him when he tells you
That you belong with me -
The angel in the darkness
That you rarely ever see.

And please my saviour,
Just know that I still love you
Don't you dare forget.
I'm sorry for the wounds I cause
And for things I still regret.
But I'm trying ever harder
To be so good to you
That you'll never even wonder
About the things you didn't do.

I will try to be your everything
Your every waking breath
And still If I can't please you
I'll try until my death.
I'm here for you, forever
'Till rain no longer falls.
'till the day that you've been seeking
When I let down all my walls.

I'm sorry I still hurt you
And my words cannot repair
The damage I have caused you.
But please do not despair.
I will not give up on
The beauty I call mine.
You will forever be the angel
That I could never leave behind.

I'll only let you leave me
If that is what you ask.
But please know that I still beg you
For just one last chance.
So if it's okay I think I'll hold you
Until my days are through
Until the world goes missing
And all that's left is you.
