All your doubt is a staircase for me
But the first step is the one you believe
And the second could be profound
but that doesn't matter to me
They can have the money and the world,
diamonds and pearls, all I want is to
Follow you to where forever may be
Without a doubt I'll remain by your side
And I'm not about to compromise or say goodbye
Not all of life is cruel or untrue
So don't turn it all inside of you
I'll whisper kisses in your ears
Touch you so soft and warm like falling dew
I'll confess all my love without words to you

Stare into the flame until you see past the light
I fight the sin you've carried like a corpse all these days
Let it all just fall away tonight
How far you go no one knows
You don't want to live to waste another day
Hiding in the shadow of mistakes you've made
You don't want to lose it all
But it feels like you've hit a wall
And now you feel broken and scarred
Out here nothing to you seems clear
Except the moment you decided to move
And disappear into the fear
But, you know there ain't no coming back
When you're still carrying the past
Just let me erase all the blurred lines
Leave a trail of broken pieces for me to find
I know it feels like you're breaking inside, but
I still remember like yesterday
When you had a smile on your face
and dreams in your eyes
I'm missing those days
Something has gotten in the way
And I just want to hold you up and tell you
it will be okay

Don't let your mind get so weary
Don't let your heart get so heavy
Because within you I see a strength
that just needs to be dug up like a treasure once buried
When your soul is lonely
Just don't lose your faith in me, because I know
All you've ever wanted was a place to call home
Well I'm here to shelter you and miss you when you're gone
Just speak to me so I understand your tongue
Bring what's yours and take what's mine
Just leave all the rest behind
I'm not here to stain your mind
With make believe and pretend

You can put yourself on trial over and over again
But you can't make your guilt pay for a sin
Just like you can cage an animal
But you can't take away it's rage
All I want is to be for you a gentle touch
Assuring you love is enough
I might be an angel without wings but,
I've got the pixie dust so,
All you have to do now is *believe
