If Only

Oh! Angel that brought my sight to the light of this world 
How can I express my sorrow seeing you torn to pieces?
How can I catch the bullets that hit every strand of your vein 
I haven't expressed much my love for you except in silence 
If only I could break free from the grip of my shackles 
Then every tick of my clock is a moment spent with you 

But I'm just a poor soul with a weight to carry 
Like mountains upon my callused shoulders 
I could not even lift the weight of my own feet 
And against the gust of storm I almost fall everytime
Afraid to make a promise of sunrise 
For today could be my last sunset
