All I Want

She's spinning around And I'm holding her hair She's screaming loud as she can And she knows I don't care A wild one in herself She's locked up in her cage In her bipolar rage This is no stage She broke her wings When the angels sent her And she didn't shed a tear But on my doorstep she cried The only thing I want to do Is keep her forever This lonely angel With a knife in her side She's dying slow She's spinning around And I'm holding her hair While she wilts to the ground She's screaming her soul and She knows I don't care But I can feel it in my bones I want to always be there All I want to do Is keep her forever When the angels brought her here They left her in the dirt As she wilted, cracked and hurt She wandered to my doorstep And she cries Her last breath in the air As I'm holding her hair Holding her stare All I want to do Is keep her forever When the angels brought her here They didn't bring immortality Only an angel with broken wings A lonely being, cut from her strings And all I want to do Is keep her forever I'm still holding her hair While she's soaks in the air She screams her soul and She knows I won't care She's dying with her wings Trapped broken in her cage With her bipolar rage This is no stage I'll hold her stare in the air While this angel drifts away Dying with broken wings Cut from their strings And all I want to do Is keep her forever
