Happy Birthday Angel

I saw you standing past the border Where even mercy feared to go You wore your ruin like an armor But I could see the soul below You should’ve turned and left me nameless You should’ve never touched my hand But all the grace I thought would hate me Was the first to understand I was taught that you were danger I was born to make you run But every law that stood between us Came undone when we became one You make a sinner out of heaven You make a believer out of hell If loving you is our damnation I would choose it for myself Let the gates close behind us We can build a world ourselves You make a sinner out of heaven You make a believer out of hell Fall with me Rise with me Be the place I’m meant to be Fall with me Rise with me You’re the only truth I need You never asked me to be holy You only asked me not to hide You never tried to steal my halo You only stood there by my side They call desire a kind of weakness They call compassion my disgrace But every line they drew between us Disappears when we embrace I was certain I was poison I was certain I was pure Then you held the worst within me Like a heart worth fighting for You make a sinner out of heaven You make a believer out of hell If loving you is our damnation I would choose it for myself Let the gates close behind us We can build a world ourselves You make a sinner out of heaven You make a believer out of hell If I fall, I fall beside you If I rise, I rise with you Let the heavens turn against me Let the depths reject me too No throne above, no crown below Could tear my living heart from you If eternity denies us We’ll make eternity anew You make a sinner out of heaven You make a believer out of hell If loving you is our damnation I would choose it for myself Let the gates close behind us We can build a world ourselves You make a sinner out of heaven You make a believer— A believer— A believer— Out of hell Fall with me Rise with me Be the place I’m meant to be No above No below Only where we choose to go Fall with me Rise with me You’re the only truth I need
