Skinny angel
Alcoholic savior
A bitter sweet flavor
A troubled troubador
Like a restless tiger
Lying here beside her
Captured by desire
I'm tighter than I'm torn
So I'll wake up, do what I can to catch my breath
And I'll forget so I can learn to live again
Because the saints that steal the heart
Are the sinners in the dark
And in the shadows of the night,
The sinner inside you makes my little black heart come alive
I'm a liar,
Comfortable in a fire
A bird stuck on a wire
A soul without a core
So forgive me
If I seem so out of reach
But honesty becomes me
It's the one thing that I owe
So I'll wake up, do what I can to catch my breath
And I'll forget so I can learn to live again
Because the saints that steal the heart
Are the sinners in the dark
And in the shadows of the night,
The sinner inside you makes me feel so alive
Angel in my mind, a devil at my side
And in the shadows of the night,
The sinner inside you makes my little black heart come alive
I'm counting down,
So for the love of God, will you help me help myself?
You said hold on
Hold on
So I'll hold on
Cause' I know that there's something more
The saints that steal the heart
Are the sinners in the dark
And in the shadows of the night,
The sinner inside you makes me feel so alive
Angel in my mind, a devil at my side
And in the shadows of the night,
The sinner inside you makes my little black heart come alive
